The film "Strange Darling" believes its subversions are empowering, but its shallow thrills lack depth, highlighted by Willa Fitzgerald's bold performance overshadowed by thoughtless execution.
While "Strange Darling" boasts stunning visuals shot on 35mm film, it struggles to balance its style with substance, opening instead with a distracting title card.
Nostalgic casting channels a Tarantino influence, yet it results in a hollow experience where clever subversions of tropes lack meaningful commentary on their significance.
Though the film features engaging actors like Willa Fitzgerald and Ed Begley Jr., it ultimately feels self-indulgent, with style overshadowing any substantive narrative insights.
