A great film with a stunning lead performance by Mikey Madison.

Ignore the hype prepare for a wild (and at times comedic and uncomfortable ride), But expect to think for yourself, Graphic story showing hard truths - all that glitters is not always gold.

Long film that fills it's runtime (though a bit more editing would have made it a 10).

My wife and I both enjoyed the ride. The ending will confound many - think for yourself.

It all happens so fast that I look forward to seeing it again - the highest recommendation.

P. S. It is a difficult film to review without spoilers. The Blondie track 'Dreaming' is well used in the trailers, but I don't recall it in the film..

Substance - Love it or Hate it You Won't Forget It (Good, Until It Goes For Gore) This was a movie in two parts. For the first ¾ it was an interesting satire on the need to look 'young' and where it could take you. It's not perfect (it's a shame that they used prosthetics to enhance 'perfection', no diversity etc.) but it poses questions we will all need to answer at some time. However I could quite happily have left at the 'potential termination' scene. It would have been better if that stage reverted to the conditions at the outset and left a card saying 'Careful What you Wish For'. I would have given it a 9/10.

Instead the last quarter was a splatter-gore-fest that was a tough watch. It was comedy horror which washed away the previous satire.

Oh well. Love it or hate it, you won't forget it.

A surreal and magical film from 1950. Very inventive - the scene going into the underworld is extraordinary.

It is flawed but that adds to the charm. Considering the year that it was made it was truly ahead of it's time.

Once seen, It will never be forgotten.
