“midori francis is doing SO much heavy lifting here it should be illegal, like she's fully committed to a movie that never decides what it actually wants to say to you. the ghost only showing up on spoons and kettles and every shiny curved surface freaked me out way more than any of the big gross-out swings did and there are a LOT of gross-out swings, do not eat before this one i'm begging. but around the hour mark it just starts eating its own tail, binge scene, night terror, cut to a body, repeat, and by the end i genuinely could not tell if it was mad at diet culture or weirdly into it. the breathy score is nasty in the good way though and i felt vaguely unwell walking out which is probably the whole point. a 5 that's got a genuinely upsetting movie trapped inside a saggier one”
