⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Basically a parasitic Devil Wears Prada.

This movie was insane because of all the things they wanted to comment on and critique. Capitalism, Canada’s medical system, eugenics, the foster care system, PTSD, vegetarianism, cult-like followers, self-confidence, the list continues. But the things is - it was all done really well. No stone left unturned sort of a thing.

Something worth mentioning, the team that made the prosthetics for this film deserve a raise. So well done. And the writers that worked on the medical/science aspects made sure the script was compelling and not boring. I kiss you all on the forehead. Muah.

Canada can’t do every piece of media well, but I luckily had two good horror movies in a row.

OH MY GOD. I am going to need pre-2020 films to stop mirroring the pandemic. It’s alarming.

You should watch this if you:

are looking for some good ol’ Canadian horror

(you know it, you love it) medical malpractice!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5

TW: As with the first film, some of this movie revolves around self harm, suicide, and drug abuse. Be aware of triggers.

Just within the opening montage, I can tell that the series was affected by the post 9/11 trauma porn boom, but I think it helped the story. Using this storytelling technique, we could see how much of the events from the first film affected Bridgette.

Holy hell, some of these doctors said some OUT OF POCKET shit. It did cut the tension that Bridgette was facing, but not enough to take the focus away from the internal struggle.

If the first film is an allegory for growing up, this is a testament to the worst parts of adulthood and how they can absolutely break us.

You should watch this film for:

medical malpractice

a really sexy voiceover from a deceased character (oh my god.)

the Late American film director Robert Altman, delineates the catalysts of everything that is wrong about contemporary society and pinpoints the biggest contributing factors primarily responsible for the perpetual state of the disquieting modern status quo and the soul-destroying mordant sociopolitical climate of overblown, crass commercialism and intolerance which it has spawned, in relation to the faux `happy ending' of his film, THE PLAYER (1992) and pretentions about art, culture, the motion picture industry and the sick cult of greed in America today.
