My Sweet Darling of Strange


So did any of you go and see Strange Darling this past weekend? It hit about eleven-hundred screens which seems like a lot? I have no concept of how many theaters there are any more -- I realized long ago that paying attention to the Box Office was giving me ulcers. I pay more attention to Awards Season than I do the Box Office now and y'all know how little a shit I give about Awards Season. Anyway point being perhaps some of you saw Strange Darling and so I don't have to feel as guilty about directing y'all over to my review of the movie, which has just gone up at Pajiba. As I said last week when I crowned its male lead Kyle Gallner our greatest current Scream King this is a movie that one doesn't want to spoil too much, given its many twists -- and my review still tries its damndest to be as vague as possible but it's inevitable, in writing about it, that at least a vibe will come across. And this really is a movie that one should know zip zilch zero about going in to have the best experience. That said it's worth that effort -- it kicks ass. I really enjoyed it. So stop listening to me rambling and go see the damn thing while you can!

Saw it based on your recommendation and loved it. You and I don't always agree about movies but I would recommend this to anyone. And Kyle G. is so friggin hot

The theater chain I go to most frequently is Cinemark/Century. They are showing Strange Darling in my area BUT oddly enough, they don’t give in any evening screening (the last one is 3:00 pm).

Thanks for the recommendation! I want to see it a second time this week.

Glad you dug it! It works really well on a second viewing
