Visually striking, tense, surreal, frequently unpleasant. In other words, exactly my kind of movie
Very solid, good visuals, some good body horror. Honestly not seeing where people are getting "hard to follow" here, didn't seem that way to me. I hate when a movie treats me like an idiot with no attention span so I prefer when they keep exposition to a minimum.
watched this years ago, but a great commentary on the future of celeb obsession
Fascinatingly weird.
get me a vial of steve buscemi’s gonorrhea pronto
