    ★★★½

    This film delves into themes that society should continuously reexamine: how we perceive sexuality, the influence of power dynamics in pleasure, and the way mistakes and punishments are weighed against true intentions and personal reflection. If you are a woman, this movie is a must.

    ★★½

    Not as good as the previous movies. This one feels more like a tribute to the dance scene and dance as a performative art. I appreciate that.

    ★★★★

    The use of sounds and liminal spaces in this movie is absolutely terrifying. I loved it. Its non-conventional approach keeps me on edge throughout the entire film.

    The underlying themes of abuse, bullying and marginalized childhood turning into a bloodbath are profoundly unsettling. I hoped for a happy ending, especially since it involves children, but the harsh reality is that violence spares no one, and that's a haunting truth.
