    Boring

    Medusa Deluxe offers a visually striking and stylistically ambitious experience, featuring a faux single-take camera that glides through the hallways and dressing rooms of a regional hairstyling competition just before one of the contestants, Mosca, is murdered. The film introduces a large cast of suspicious characters-rivals, lovers, and associates-creating an atmosphere filled with intrigue and gossip.

    However, despite its unique visual approach, the movie falls short narratively. The plot lacks depth and momentum, and the characters never develop beyond surface-level traits. The initial mystery quickly loses steam, and the pacing slows considerably, making it hard to stay engaged.

    The long-take technique, while impressive and fluid, ultimately works against the film. Without real suspense or danger in the characters' movements, it drags on, stretching the runtime and diluting the tension. As a whodunit, Medusa Deluxe disappoints; it feels more like a stylish showcase of dialogue and cinematography rather than a compelling mystery.

    Director Thomas Hardiman and cinematographer Robbie Ryan deliver a sleek and elegant film, but it's missing the emotional punch needed to make the story resonate.

    Tedious, humorless & not for me

    I wanted to watch a comedy and this film was listed as a comedy. First off, I am not adverse to what is called "black/dark comedy". Not at all. In fact I found "A Clockwork Orange" to be rife with "black/dark comedy". Also, thoroughly enjoyed "Tucker and Dale vs Evil". All that said, this film should not be listed in any genre of comedy. I watched it 3/4 through and there was not even one scene of any comedic merit. Nothing. In addition, the acting was often very bad, the dialogue was often awful and the overall story-line was disjointed and confusing. Not to mention the endless and TEDIOUS filler scenes of people going up or down stairs and walking through hallways. If you are looking for a comedy, skip this slop.

    Medusa is good, but overrated.

    The film, with its stunning long take, makes us feel as if we are walking alongside the characters, traversing various captivating settings and hypnotic scenes. Consequently, the beginning may appear bewildering and somewhat disorienting, as we adjust to the rapid influx of information: the breathtaking scenery, the characters' magnificent hair, their dialogues, understanding what is unfolding, among other aspects. Nevertheless, after this initial phase, we are thrust into the midst of a plot that consistently prompts us to question certainties, sow seeds of doubt, and introduce minor twists and turns. The film keeps us pondering all the time: "Where is this leading us?"

    This sensation can also have a bittersweet taste, as some scenes appear shallow, lacking a proper conclusion. Regrettably, the conclusion of the story ends up being predictable and monotonous, which is disappointing. Furthermore, the decision to include a scene that seems to come out of a "scriptwriting manual," outside of the continuous shot, is debatable and should not have been included. This scene alters the perception of concepts that were subverted throughout the film, rendering them inconsistent with what had been built up until that point.

    Getting hair done

    No pun intended - especially because it is a guy who has been done. The movie does start with the announcement of a police investigation. A police investigation we won't see much of by the way. We will stay and stick with the hairdressers and everyone.

    This is a whodunnit, but it also is a look behind the scenes. It is a sort of love letter to hairdressers. That being said, do not expect this to be pulling any ... punches. The very first characters we see talk ... let's call it freely. You may feel it is rough and there are some anger issues for sure ... but it is also fun to watch.

    What is fun to watch to a degree is the one shot thing. I did not detect any easy swipe or any other camera movement that would make it easy to cut and edit. Good acting ... good little movie.

    Great film

    Medusa Deluxe directed by Thomas Hardiman, is a captivating film that seamlessly delivers a gripping cinematic experience.

    The cinematography is mesmerizing, with each frame meticulously composed to evoke a sense of both awe and unease. Camera work is really impressive - you can really appreciate the tech side to the film

    The score perfectly complements the visuals, further immersing the audience into the film's world.

    Casting is put together really well throughout with talent that engages you throughout the film with they're interesting personas.

    Would really recommend to check this out. The film has been released nationally in the UK.
