Summary
A young woman, played by Agathe Rousselle, goes on a killing spree and has sex with cars.
Clearly the director of this film has been having some conversations with Ti West and is being taught in the school of being edgy in a horror film for the sake of shock value. Within the first ten minutes of this film you have a car accident, a protracted surgery scene, a scene were a young girl passionately embraces a car, then a cut to when she is an adult and an almost rape scene. Yes, all of that did almost make me turn the film off, but no I decided to stick with it and believe me it got worse.
The car sex scene that happens again fairly early into the film is entirely needless. I am no prude but this scene is just unnecessary, it is too long, too graphic and too fetishized. If it were used in a film by a male director it would be labelled problematic and never allowed to see the light of day.
Furthermore as the film progresses it begins to deal with ideas around gender, now there could be something of merit here if the film had something intelligent to say with it, but no, it is just used as a gimmick to try and seem trendy.
Overall, I don’t really know what more to say, don’t watch it.
Pros.
It is short
Cons.
It is needless in almost everyway
It tries too hard to be edgy
It does nothing interesting with the ideas around gender
It is unpleasant and depressing to watch
