    The Substance

    ★★

    Overbearing production design in place of subtlety and wit, a cake-and-eat-it approach to the gaze, archetypical MEN=YIKES! caricatures and everything signposted three times so we don’t miss the point. 

    Is that billboard only visible from Sparkle’s apartment? Do we really need to hear ‘pretty girls always smile’ repeated five times? Does nobody else find this incredibly patronising?

  • The Cannibal Man

    The Cannibal Man

    ★★★★

    A film about the perils of dropping in on people unannounced.
