I watch a lot of films and hope to share some I like. I give it a 7/10 and recommend if you like psych thrillers and the film Audition.

Typed "romance" into Max, and it recommended The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke, 2001), so... I watched it.
No spoilers, but imagine my suprise when it turned out to be an erotic psychological drama about a sexually repressed piano teacher and her sadomasochistic relationship with her pupil (and her mother). It was unexpected, grotesque, and quite frankly, distressing.
There’s both an understanding and a deep ambivalence to the story and the main protagonist that kept pulling me back, even though I had to take a break and watch it over the course of two days. Anyway! It was definitely a gripping watch, and I appreciate any movie that compels me to feel so deeply—in any way, even if I’m writhing in my seat😅.

the unflinching type of depravity you expect to see in 480p on effedupmovies.com, not in a chain theatre, yet made me want to be much kinder to myself
watch if you like: cronenberg, troma, having physical reactions to art, being a gorgeous woman in a tiny glittery dress
i also recommend fargeat’s other film revenge (2017) which is similarly gnarly.. one thing i love about her style is when her brain cooks up something uniquely gruesome she wants her audience to see every bit of it, not a single cut away in either movie

Went to the theater after my shift yesterday to catch a showing and it made me want to treat myself better
What a movie though. The cinematography is very strong and I appreciated its feminist commentary. I highly recommend it if you don't mind body horror, which I thought wasn't even that bad but then the final act happened lmao

What a start for the first episode! Not what I expected at all - the twists and sci-fi element! We are in for an amazing show
