    ★★★★

    Really loved this. My only real criticism is that it was too short! Think the final act could have gone darker at the end but loved that final montage.

    Would make an excellent pairing with “The Wrestler”. Casting Dave Bautista was a genius move.

    Whole cast are doing wonders, particularly Pamela Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis.

    The Japanese occult proliferates its practices through psychotherapy and hypnosis.

    Needs a revisit.

    First time attending the London film festival. Royal festival hall is a treat of a venue. 

    Can’t say I found this as engaging as I anticipated. Glossy cast and Glossy form. Jodie Comers accent work is impeccable. Tom hardy is tipping over into Brando/Niro pastiche.
