I'm very glad that I held off on seeing this so that I could watch it for the first time...
1. with an audience
2. with a main cast member and some others present, most of them in dumb animal costumes from the film
Basically a live action cartoon (of the Fleischer Popeye and Tom And Jerry lineage) with heavy and roughly equal doses of influence from classic cinema comedy and classic computer games.
Imagine Wes Anderson were Indian and attempted to make a horror comedy about an arranged marriage and you'll be in the ballpark, but that undersells how entertaining and unique SISTER MIDNIGHT is and how much I loved it.
It would likely be impossible to discuss much more without spoilers, and I would rather not invoke the spoiler tag, because I want to make sure that as many people as possible understand that this is a film that deserves to be seen. Go and watch it. Please.
Asda Smart Price Anthony Perkins vs. one of the shittest scripts ever filmed. Badly written, badly acted, badly directed... the only positives I can conjure are that it was hilariously terrible and the leading actress showed some promise despite being held back by everything else. The thing that I kept thinking about was how they were going to manage to do a Q & A with straight faces after listening to the audience die laughing for 90 minutes.
Hopefully this is just this year's WINNIE THE POOH: BLOOD AND HONEY and not a sign that this is going to be my last FrightFest pass.
I'm sure I won't be the first or last person to think of SALTBURN during this, but it's only vaguely SALTBURN in theme, not in tone.
This is a curious genre-defying depiction of what could be interpreted as either an adoption or an infiltration. It's ostensibly a drama but is constructed like a thriller.
