Obviously loved this. I think all the criticisms of the subject matter are features, not bugs. And I loved the features!

- Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley are so, so good in this. The two halves of a single person literally fighting for dominance in a battle that will destroy the self isn't some subtle thing but who cares! When you're pulling from the playbooks of Henenlotter and Stuart Gordon, you're going to be speaking my language!

- Speaking of which, we desperately need people to stop saying anything resembling physical or bodily extension is inherently trying to do a Cronenberg thing. It's not! Don't be silly.

- It's like this bizarro extreme parody of american pop culture. Using the exaggerated ultra-wide 12mm close-ups to reveal arguably the most disgusting material... ily Coralie.
