Ghost in the Cell

Call Me Dunham

The premise is really intriguing, and honestly, I was quite amazed by this film. It blends horror and comedy really well. But unfortunately, Joko Anwar doesn’t feel as strong when it comes to writing the third act it loses some of its impact. On top of that, the political satire and underlying themes are delivered a bit too on-the-nose. It feels very blunt, almost like listening to a public service announcement. Still, I can’t deny how impressive the film’s disturbing elements are. It’s rare to find something that can make you feel disgusted and mesmerized at the same time, the aesthetic of discomfort here is genuinely striking.
