Euphoria (2019)
Real on so many levels
I think most reviews totally missed the real intriguing aspect of Euphoria. It's a drug induced trip through 21st Century older teens.
Jules is definitely the biggest character. A trans teenager, played wonderfully by Hunter Schafer (Who's a trans Model and LGBT activist)
And I think it was so subtle that many people missed it; from her hooking up with an older man from Grindr who's in to domination of trans women and effeminate gay guys to her laying with Zendaya at the end with a bulge in her panties.
Clearly some bisexuality is going to be explored.
Add in the drug rehab culture, which I'm thinking people writing these reviews must not know much about it because Zendaya is dead on what it's like to be an addict.
Finally, you can tell people are full of it saying how it's rehashing of Kids and Skins, it's from an Israeli show called "Euphoria"
Headhunter: The Assessment Weekend (2010)
Really goofy and boring
The only reason this gets a 2 is because of the two decent looking lead women. I caught this on Netflix one night; and it had a lot of promise; however, the whole "headhunter" theme. A headhunter that's a "head-hunter". But about 30 min. in it gets boring and really never delivers. The headless effects look like something you'd see in a cheap carnival spook house. The lead "headhunter" who was leading the group very unceremoniously gets shot in the foot and lays there like a log instead of trying to lay the crazy guy's woman. Also, the only romantic implication at all between crazy guy and the lead woman is in the beginning where they talk about "sleeping over"(why for love pete didn't they show that???) Also, when the young pretty woman goes down and starts to take her clothes off before getting dragged in... why, why, for the love of all that's decent, didn't she get naked first. Then the ending... what's up with that helicopter? and was the goofy Japanese guy ever really there at all? And she just stabs the crazy guy... doesn't take his head. The goofy head thing I can deal with, but the lack of nudity makes this film not stand and deliver.
