American Psycho

American Psycho is glossy, absurd, and deeply uncomfortable once you realize how little of it is actually a joke. It follows Patrick Bateman as he moves through a world of status, image, and emptiness—where everything looks perfect on the surface, but nothing really exists underneath. The satire is sharp, but it slowly starts to feel like something darker is bleeding through it. It’s funny until it isn’t, and that shift hits harder than expected. You’re never fully sure what’s real—and that’s exactly the point. “I have to return some videotapes.” ★★★★½
