COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Breathtaking submitted by oriolbt on June 28, 2023, 11:28am Loden's Wanda is captivating and revelatory as the avatar of a certain US industrial malaise, feral and adrift in the culture that birthed her. Stunning use of some new wave techniques in this deeply and uncomfortably revisionist crime flick. CW for a nasty rape scene.
