The noir like ideas are fine
4 May 2024
At the start this is wonderful with splendid cinematography and we are thrilled as we are introduced to Lou (Kristen Stewart) and Jackie (Katy O'Brien), if less thrilled with the bodybuilder ones of men and even less than of the women. But it is still rather good, the sex is different although not too explicit and with like the girls but not sure about Daisy (Anna Baryshnikov). This is her being rather silly and then we wonder about Jackie as well with her crunching her fists and muscles (visual effects). The noir like ideas are fine but these rather odd bits are less so and the dialogue comes and goes, although I love Ed Harris throughout the whole film. The business of the sister's beating by her husband it is rather sad but then we are not sure at all about her not liking being beaten up. As the story goes on, it starts to get rather more queer and even more as the power girl of Jackie we wonder if she is real at all. At the end it is even more bizarre but there is something I like about it and certainly want to see more of this English director, Rose Glass.
