    more like THE FUN AND SUPER UNEXPECTED FIRST ACT THAT GIVES WAY TO AN HOUR OF PURE NONSENSE AND A NICE FINAL SHOT. Edit: ok but do want to say that Logan Browning is spectacular on dear white people and should be a big star and if this movie helps that happen I’m fine…

With each rewind, the picture locks-up and we disconnect with what’s going on, and more importantly, with the characters. Which renders the minimalist promise of The Perfection a promise largely unfulfilled.

The Perfection takes deep, fetishistic satisfaction in pushing the envelope, then pushing it some more, building in seductive fits and shocking starts to an orgiastic frenzy of cinematic excess. Is it a progressive movie? Not especially, but that’s okay as long as you know what you’re getting into.

There’s a rare unpredictability that initially proves alluring, at least until that confusion starts to feel less intentional.
