What a surprise! The second film by very talented Joanna Arnow (she edited, wrote, directed, and starred in the film) is a symphony of ambient shame, with movements centered on the different men with Ann, the protagonist, having varied-length and ambivalent relationships. She manages to hit a range of painful notes in these movements, from ritualized abjection of sensual humiliation to cutting corporate indignities.
Extremely original, astute, truthful, and humorous. I adored how the openly sexual material contrasted with the visual aesthetic; it gave me the impression of the female gaze in action. In over 50 years of watching movies and writing reviews, it is time to say: that I’ve never seen a movie like this and I truly enjoyed it. Check it out if you enjoy subtle character development and deadpan humor…
