Korine’s work in my experience can be nauseating to the point that it generates a faux depth.
The constant motif of babies and some of the things branching off from that are laughable.
This style of shooting in the right hands has a lot of potential I noticed here the actor failed to choreograph recoil and taking pills in an accurate way. It’s complex but it could be really neat.

The character of Vaughn on rewatch while remaining perverse I felt I understood him better he seems commanding and intimidating initially but he is someone wholly consumed by the beauty of cars and humans colliding.

Real cozy and easy watch. Solid pacing admirable how insistent the visuals are upon themselves, definitely worth however many arguments it probably took to keep it so stylised.
