    Genuinely unsettling and bizarre, this is Harmony Korine at his most raw and brilliant. Visually ugly yet strangely beautiful, the film moves to the beat of its own drum, delivering one unforgettable, often chaotic scene after another.

    Paper Moon is effortlessly charming, made all the more special by the natural chemistry of its father-daughter leads, Ryan and Tatum O’Neal. Their dynamic is magnetic, bringing warmth and wit to a film that just wouldn’t be the same without them. Tatum, in particular, delivers a remarkable performance, capturing both the toughness and vulnerability of Addie with a nuance beyond her years.

    Visually, the film is stunning, perfectly evoking the 1930s not just through set design and costuming but in…
