Fennel is not here to be smart nor interested in exploring the way woman face the wrath of men and rape.
It rather shows you some guys trying to fuck her while she's drunk while not saying anything. Carrey mulligan and everybody else gives an uninteresting performance, I do like that fennel for the most part doesn't make anything look like spectacle with her camera but she also doesn't do anything interesting with it and every shot looks dull because of it.
Its screenplay is horrendous and people who claim this is bold feel so weird to me. Not because they like it or at least it is in some way but because the film actively harms victims and their experiences. Its not interested in diving into woman getting raped with any nuance. No one in this film is a character, they are a puppet for fennel.There is misogynistic tendencies when it comes to emerald's critics, there will always will be misogynist among them and a lot of criticisms could be directed towards male directors but the fact is emerald also just isn't a good director.
The film tricks you into thinking it has any sort of relation to how woman don't get justice while also giving eventual justice by killing off Cassie.
This movie is made for white people and white people only.(Watch my feature film <a href="https://boxd.it/cQ1mBp">boxd.it/cQ1mBp</a> )

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A razor-sharp thriller about a woman methodically dismantling the systems that failed her, where every interaction crackles with danger and dark purpose. Watching it is like witnessing someone reclaim power through calculated confrontation.

not as horrid as saltburn and i do think the topics it tries to comment on are important but damm the execution is so bland.
you are left with boring and uninteresting characters and story.
the story is all over the place and honestly the last 20 came out of no where and while some parts of the film tackle the same thing, that being men taking advantage of woman, the topic felt so in and out of focus.
aside from that the script is honestly awful with lame unfunny jokes.
