High Life

Women in stem.  Crazy good though. I’m surprised the average is so low. It’s weird and stressful., and I’d say body horror adjacent. Trigger warning: There is quite a bit of violence against women, perpetrated by both men and women, (and violence against men for that matter) however, I am more forgiving of this from a woman director. To be quite honest, it seems much more realistic than I’m used to seeing in film. I wouldn’t necessarily say that other film romanticize the concept of rape, but they certainly shirk away from the raw violent nature captured in this film. And that’s not to say that rape is always violent in this way, not at all, but I do thinking seeing different types of depictions of this form of violence helps bring empathy and understanding to those lacking.
