Flashily original Brit director Rose Glass delivers a distinguished lesbian neo-noir in her second feature which follows on the heels of her 2019 horror ‘Saint Maude’ ( which incidentally did not release in India). This film is a brooding hallucinatory spiel drenched in stirring night scenes, violent crime and hardcore action.

Rose Glass serves up raw sex, bloody criminality and messy clean-up in a scintillating free-wheeling style that is neither retro nor sequestered nor reminiscent of any other form. The style inherent here is all her own and it’s gut-punching.
