I enjoyed this, it was a very uncomfortable watch and I usually don’t like films with such an unlikable protagonist, but I found her really interesting. The weird games she played with her boyfriend, was like a weird game of sociopathic relationship chess. Seeing the lengths she would go through to get attention and sympathy, felt like a quite exaggerated version of a lot of real people. And at the end after she’s fucked up that much but still views herself as her own victim, it was really interesting and very real. The film was quite funny but I was mostly laughing at how insane she was.
Enjoyed this a lot more than I had expected though, kinda reminded me of the worst person in the world except I actually liked it. Was a fun experience seeing this at the cinema with my friend. Think it was very well written and I enjoyed some of the cinematography as well.
8.0/10
