    ★★★½

    shingles no codeine. At first it felt odious & intensely tedious & then I got into the humour & pacing & it became dirtily funny. but not sure i would do again — left bit of a bad taste in my mouth

    hated this with a passion but every other dyke in the cinema (informal convention outside the ladies' toilets) disagreed with me. Storytelling was just so shoddy though?? incoherent & no stakes. As crime / thriller it didn't have the drops & reveals & backstories to court viewer investment — thought it could have worked better as a psychosexual surrealist noir about Top Energy and its relation to daddies & toxic masculinity. then maybe plot could have been dispensed with & we would just romp along? …
