    Poignant depiction of society’s obsession with hypermasculinity and its impact amongst gay and queer men. The performances by both leads are masterful, with nuances and complexities that approach the storyline with impressive authenticity.

    It’s depressing how much we idolize macho toxic traits, even today. Both Jules and Preston show us the weight of such from opposite sides.

    I guess there’s lots of mixed reviews. But I was pleasantly tense for 85% of it. 
    Love seeing a cast of quality newcomers. Especially Isabel Merced’s character development. 
    Love Alvarez’ ballsiness to go all the way with the gore and fucked-up excessiveness. I heard the hybrid creature was not popular amongst the producers lol… 

    HATE the AI and desperate need to bring familiar faces. Completely ruined what could’ve been a nearly-perfect film. Still, the best entry in a while with fresh blood and beautiful moments.

    I recently performed a monologue by Isabelle Adjani from this film, turning it into a sound installation at La Bourse de Commerce in Paris. That’s how much her role as Anna / Helen has impacted my life. I adore her. ❤️‍🔥

    The poem about prayer being like a scrubbing towel scrubbing sins into a new skin — probably one of my favorite scenes in cinema history
