    A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night

    ★★★½

    Iranian girl boss vampire looking for love. Twilight meets Jennifer’s body. Absurdist, campy, gothic, funny, feminist, a little on the nose. Wish it went deeper in the plot and themes, but it was a fun time.

    Really funny, powerful. Cinderella, American Dream gone wrong. Captures the way the owning class cruely exploit and dominate for power: both the sex workers and security for the Russians Etc. Definitely in the uncut gems, the bear stressful fast cuts with yelling Genre — painful to watch but it’s worth it . Theres like an Office Space level of satire of what it means to have a truly shit job, spoiled rich kids etc. After all the violent lust, the illustration of what real intimacy, care can look like in igors character is really moving.
