I just watched the film and thought it was fantastic. It was really dark and disturbing at times. The film kept me guessing at every turn and I haven’t been this impressed with a modern film in a while.

If you haven’t seen it yet I highly encourage you to check it out. Viewer discretion advised obviously.

    Saw Strange Darling the other day. It’s stylish, well shot, and pretty intense, I think I held my breath during several scenes. And yeah disturbing. The two leads are amazing. I highly recommend it, it’s great for October spooky movie viewing.

      I didn’t really know what to expect going into it. I was really impressed. It reminds me of Tarantino’s films but I liked this one better. The film looks gorgeous too.

        It’s interesting to me how recognizable and influential the style of a single director can become over time. I thought of Tarantino shortly after the movie started, impressive considering Pulp Fiction came out…what, 30 years ago now? Reservoir Dogs is even older than that.

        Hmm yeah, regarding PF’s age: I can see how Strange Darling would be more appealing today. It’s more modern and… probably more relatable if I had to guess? Yeah it is a gorgeous film. I mean, it’s an outstanding movie, and it’s a shame it’s still relatively unknown.
