Like being tased in the face

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2019)

The most amazing thing about this film is how many people they've paid to give it great reviews considering it's sky high score.
There's probably only been a handful of movies I've ever walked out on but I'm amazed I managed to sit through most of this one. This film is aimed at the female Gen-Y/millenials who've once dreamt of Austen and 50 shades at the same time whilst ticking all the boxes for today's crowd: lesbian phase, dominating men, power women suddenly breaking free from society like its a new hashtag movement in 18th Century England.
And for the record I liked the Director's earlier film "The Lobster" as it was very thought-provoking as well as confronting. Confronting is obviously this director's trademark. Call me old fashioned but the comedic portrayal of sexual assault is too much. Given this is a girl-power film as well this is what I'm going to have to try and describe as sexual schizophrenia. I suppose Inglorious Basterds managed to turn the torture and mutilation of POWs into a comedy so I'm thinking in 5 years time there'll be comedies about paedophilia and incest. The cinematography was interesting with small/no camera lenses but it can't save this film.
Way too high on the cringeometer to be enjoyable.
