Black Eyed Susan (2024). 1h 25m

“A bold and intentionally uncomfortable film, not only in its portrayal of the truth of manu0026#39;s dark sexual impulses but in its willingness to ask questions without answering them.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe three principals shine, each in their own way. Yvonne Emilie Thälker (the eponymous Susan) gives an unnerving portrayal of a sex-doll who we hope or fear could be much more. Marc Romeo as her creator is disturbingly clear-eyed about his singularity of purpose for her, with his practical but not principled approach. Holding it all together is perennial horror staru0026#39;s Damian Maffeiu0026#39;s understated but painfully realistic performance as a deeply self-disappointing person whose desire for redemption takes him places the other two may not want to go.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven with some minor stumbles in the acting from supporting characters and some dents in the plot,I can see why this film nevertheless currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.”
