Mandy 2018
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
A beautiful movie, violent, weird, dark, but also beautiful. I really thought that spending the first half hour in a contemplative view of their life together was a really excellent choice that provided great stakes for the rest of the movie. Unlike a lot of revenge movies like this, I wanted desperately for Mandy to be alive and was quite upset with the ending as a result. I unironically believe the movie would be better if she was alive at the end.

Dream Scenario 2023
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Very interesting movie. I went in blind and so was expecting something of a black comedy based on the trailer, but instead got pure tension and social agony for an hour and a half. It contains a cancellation narrative, but chooses to focus more on the mechanics of how fame, technology, and raw humanity interact in a way that melts our protagonist's life. A friend pointed out that there is never a moment of catharsis or justification for the suffering depicted in this movie, I think this improves the realism and thrust of the argument, but makes for a fairly unsatisfying ending.

Pig 2021
Very interesting and a good addition to the 'canon'. But doesn't quite get there on its own merits. The film setting up and then denying a typical revenge story is an interesting move, but only makes sense in reference to what the genre typically does. An effective subversion of expectations, but I don't think the subversion had much to say.
