Opus

They never circled back to the whole bush shaving thing

Hard to rate, hard to review. I don't think I've ever seen a cult story like this before. Apart from the music, eeriness, and acting, all of which were done brilliantly with a wild amount of enigmatic tension, nothing stood out like the premise. It knows you're expecting the traditional 'escape' style narrative, so seeing certain things play out weirdly felt...weird. Most of the negative reviews seem to miss the sinister conversation 'Opus' calls for. The director wants us, like Ayo, to question what makes a cult. Who? Why? How? Whether it be moderate or extreme, cult behaviour has always been mainstream..."Teach them young and the world will be yours".

"Teach them young and the world will be yours".♡
Terrible from start to finish. The film tried desperately to be something it's simply isn't, not even close.
And none of its elements helped make it even remotely decent. The story was so weak and hollow and pretty much lacked-

had potential but there was not a lot of explanation of why he was the way he was and the cult etc

leave my bush alone

Very slow but still intriguing. The ending was so close to being a twist but didn’t quite get there. Definitely a weird watch, but not bad.
