I remember seeing WW for the first time during MoMA Film’s 2017 Black Intimacy programming, thinking “where has this been all my life.” I couldn’t believe that in all my years of being Black, queer, and socialized as woman that I had never even heard of such a quirky, innovative, clever, cute, and timeless story.

On some real shit, Rose Glass did her big one with this sophomore. It’s teeming with everything we’re void of right now: pulp surrealism, quality genre-bending, authentic lesbian toxic devotion and chaotic yet accurate sex scenes, beautiful execution of disappearing men in the most grotesque of ways, and skin-crawling sound design. I thoroughly…
