The Perfection

Great psycho creepshow, which is superbly written and equally well-played, with a big contribution to success by the phenomenal music component and brutal editing that sometimes digs too deep into the marrow of bones. I liked Allison Williams in Get Out and evidently similar roles attract her. Within a not entirely traditional and clearly defined genre, I can't rate it otherwise than a full score. (2019-07-05)

Yes, the first third of the film really kept me glued to my seat; as a viewer, I had no idea what to expect, so from a screenwriting perspective, I have no complaints about this part. The cast, especially the two main actresses, delivered exceptional performances that had me thoroughly impressed at times. And then there was the atmosphere... a fantastic thriller that made some sequences quite stomach-churning, just the way it should be. However, then came a complete turnaround, as if the screenwriters had lost their way; the interestingly set-up plot was taken to a completely amateurish ending, which might have seemed incredibly clever and well-thought-out at first... but I see it from the opposite angle, with the twists making no sense whatsoever. The acting was still solid, and the soundtrack was more than just an afterthought, but the second half really brought it down. And the final shot put the finishing touch on it. For me, it gets 40%.

I think that drama/thriller would be enough for the list of genres. There’s no way this can be called a horror film. Anyway, the film worked very well for me until the creators ruined it by providing clues for people with no imagination. If it hadn’t been for that, I would have added another star. By the way, it never occurred to me that I would discover yet another sexual practice (especially in a film permeated with cello music) but fisting without a fist convinced me that nothing is impossible. 3*+ (2019-08-10)

Allison Williams is back on the scene in a similarly twisted and sick movie to her previous one, Get Out. Two artists from the same music school go on a road trip together and from that point on, things start to happen. I didn't know what to expect from the film, and was all the more surprised at where the plot was going. The first half keeps the pace from the beginning and makes you watch the movie with a 120/minute heartbeat, and the second half gives a crazy denouement. Two mindfuck twists and a lot of disgusting gore in a couple of scenes were very pleasing. It was original, suspenseful, twisted, high quality and very engaging, more films like this please.

Netflix has unleashed a much anticipated new release, and for the first time in a while, a decidedly solid psychological thriller that the less you know about, the better. The film is full of unexpected surprises and fun twists that play nicely with the viewer. It's decently filmed, well acted, quite original, even nicely edgy in the finale and, most importantly, the whole thing has a twisted undertone. Netflix definitely deserves admiration because the pace at which it releases films is admirable. I recommend it. After a long time a decent piece. 75% (2019-05-25)
