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.
I watched it last night and I really enjoyed it. Not what I was expecting at all. Great thriller that isn’t afraid to have a little fun with it’s premise.
It definitely subverts your expectations. I really enjoyed it. I need to watch more films like this.
Thanks for the recommendation!!
Sold! Thanks for the recommendation.
Hope you enjoy it. It’s a hell of a ride.
I watched it last night. A hell of a ride! Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Probably one of my new favorites.
Yeah it’s definitely a really good one. Not sure how much it’ll hold up to a rewatch though.

A huge part of how good it is is the switching up of the sequencing and the shock factor.
I thought it was really good and the twists and turns really kept me on the edge of my seat! It’s one of the few times I’ve watched a non linear film like that where it actually worked lol! There was only one thing that really annoyed me though:
SPOILER
If you were overdosing on ketamine, would snorting a whole bag of cocaine actually make you just totally fine afterwards? It seems like he would just have a heart attack like almost immediately wouldn’t he?
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.

I think coke sort of works as a pain killer and gives you an energy boost. I haven’t tried either drug but I can’t imagine combining the two would be pleasant. Also, I thought it would take more ketamine than that to tranquilize someone. People smoke it and don’t pass out. I’m not an expert however.
