Katie Walsh · St. Louis Post-Dispatch 100.00/100.00
Fargeat delivers a macabre, funny, tragic, absurd and grotesque Grand Guignol of butts and guts; a bonkers and brutal “beauty horror” that elevates the genre to a hysterically unprecedented heights.
Tryfold 6.00/10.00
Glitzy, polished, pretty actress, satire, but the movie falls short of what its trying to accomplish.
Nick Levine · NME 100.00/100.00
It’s horrifying in the moment and gnawingly haunting when you process it fully: a sickening satire of society’s obsession with youth and beauty.
