New Showbiz Analysis

Amy Seimetz’s drama excels in its subversion of gender norms, placing women's ability to drive the story and complex psychological interiority at the absolute center of the experience. By removing the male gaze, the film allows for a raw exploration of female rage and intimacy. However, the film lacks multi-layered breadth due to a predominantly white, homogeneous cast. The focus on the decay of a specific Southern aristocracy limits the racial and ethnic diversity of the narrative. Ultimately, the film is a sophisticated study of subjective reality. It uses mental fracturing and the deconstruction of traditional social hierarchies to create a unique, albeit narrow, cinematic landscape.
