Performaniax (2019)

Performaniax: Directed by Lars Henriks. With Chiara Lüssow, Vanessa Grzybowski, Luisa Höfer, Sophie Riva. Emily desperately wants to be an actress. When a weird theater troupe of misfits take her in, she is excited at first. But the group turns out to be a deadly cult.

“What is art? And what is art allowed to do? Everything as many suggest and is also being implied in the movie here? The beginning of this is quite promising. An actress and the way she is treated. I guess this has some personal experience written all over it. At least it feels as real as it gets, no matter what. Overall the performances are rather good for a (German) independent movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt does get cliche towards the end though and suggests more than it can actually handle. The last sting delivered is missing. Even with the u0026quot;twistu0026quot; (which I think is foreseeable for many), it doesnu0026#39;t affect the viewer as much as it should – or actually could. A decent independent try, that will find its audience, especially when available to stream for free on Prime as it is right now”
