A sleek, Neon Demon-style Hollywood parable, Demi Moore puts in a career-high performance as a fading star desperately seeking a high risk cosmetic procedure to regain her appearance and youth. Of course, things don't go according to plan.
Beautifully shot, tightly edited, shiny and hyper-stylised, the film throbs, grinds, and builds its way to utterly insane, Thing-style, stomach-turning, brilliant, and bizarre climax. Aside from its great script (fantastic villain, dash of dark humour throughout to add to its flavour) and directorial vision, another stand-out is the visceral soundtrack and sound design: slimy, gross - perfect.
I cannot recommend this movie enough - if your stomach can take it!

I randomly booked into see this film, knowing basically nothing about it apart from the two word synopsis "murder, hairdressing". Sign me up! It's got to be one of the most entertaining cinema experiences I've had in the last year.
Set backstage in a run-down events centre outside Preston bus-station, every character feels alive (a little stage-y perhaps). It's pretty funny, although it makes you wait for the darkest-of-dark humour to develop. The film is presented as a Children of Men-style real-time single shot and the camera's always following someone down a rabbit hole - it feels like there's always a lot more plot going on than perhaps there actually is. The whodunnit is not the most compelling thing about the film - it really nails it's atmosphere, characters, costumes and hair (naturally!)
It's beautifully filmed, soundtrack is great too - see it on the biggest screen you can find.
