Give Me Pity!

Weird. Not horror. More like weird fiction.

Bazaar, campy, absurd, but overall entertaining. The lead had A LOT asked of her and she did it gloriously as Sissy St. Claire. I would have preferred more delving into the psychological horror aspects. But overall, pretty fun.

Alternately hilarious and unnerving, with some heart wrenching moments, too. A unique vision and utterly memorable. I'm not sure how to describe this one in a way that does right by it - just watch it, and swear at me later.

GOOD

Interesting Art House experiment with horror elements. It's a bit long in the tooth and can be a tad repetitive in some sections. However, there are truly some moments of subversive brilliance here in its examination of fame, femininity, and identity that feel precient in our carefully manecured social media presence obsessed era, where even someone's mental breakdown can and often does become a piece of "content". One particular strength of this work is the central performance of Sophie Von Haselberg who delivers a manic performance that balances camp, unsettling sinister undertones, singing and dancing, and moments of heartbreak. The monologue near the end of the film in particular is performed brilliantly... Looking forward to diving deeper into this filmakers prior work.
