a whole movie about kink shaming. with butterflies. and no men. 5 stars.
LucyFeb 8, 2015Great moments in gay panic: My (male) Drafthouse server asks me if I need "anything else?" at the same time that Cynthia asks Evelyn that exact same question. We both chuckle at the coincidence, but I sense a quickening in the air, and I remember that I didn't even watch…

This movie is unbelievable. It unfolds like you're staring at an image of a mirror within a mirror; as you approach the center, what you next see is the same as what you last saw, only slightly altered, slightly disturbed - until eventually the image is completely obscured…
Eli HayesNov 21, 2015Yeah, I'm into BDSM: Brakhage, domesticity, sadness, and, uh... moths.

‘it’s all i’ve ever dreamed about’ thats exactly how this movie felt, like a intimate, erotic but not too sex oriented dream which is a nice touch. women being in love with women, figuring out sexuality & sensuality with gorgeously warm hues & beautiful shots

Strickland’s film is a daring, atmosphere-soaked piece of kink hypnotherapy that pays explicit homage to the films of Franco, down to the casting of former Franco regular, formidable femme Monica Swinn, in a sinister role.

At its core, this is one of the most incisive, penetrating, and empathetic films ever made about what it truly means to love another person, audaciously disguised as salacious midnight-movie fare. No better picture is likely to surface all year.

Strickland builds the film, artfully, into a complex and ultimately moving essay on the privileges of victimhood and the nuances of what it means to suffer for love.
