American Mary

the thing about this movie is that people will tell you it’s a “good for her” film. and it is for a while, but ultimately it’s a tragedy. a very effective one at that. much to be said about this movie and its relationship with men, good and bad. also the way it closes off into this perfect circle. you think mary’s found her way to be untouchable by the men who want to harm her and then the movie reminds you that that’s impossible, that you can never be beyond that existential truth of vulnerability, that there’s no way to wholly escape that culture. in the end it’s still misogyny that kills her. some violent man angry at his wife’s refusal to exist as a sexual object for him. mary mason survives that party and builds herself back up and you think it’s over. it’s not. she still dies, on her back, at a depraved man’s hands. stomach turning. anyway. i miss katharine isabelle horror flicks. can we get more katharine isabelle in horror flicks

American Mary

é um delírio frio e cirúrgico. e a atuação da Katharine Isabelle? diva absoluta, ela carrega o filme inteiro com um olhar q mistura dor, controle e ameaça eu odiei o final, sim, mas talvez essa sensação faça parte do desconforto q o filme quer deixar. é grotesco, estiloso e estranhamente empoderador. não é bonito, não é confortável… mas achei muito bom recomendo pra quem gosta do filme "a meia-irma feia"

Delete contact was so strange, like even stranger than all the body mods.

by no means great and I wish they leaned a bit more into the body modification part of things more, but not as bad as I thought it’d be. i support women’s rights and wrongs. Katherine Isabelle is a queen in this. those fits! gorgeous! she did all that in heels. why was it called American Mary though? her being American had very little to do with the plot. was it like an American Psycho reference?? inquiring minds (me want to know) ending felt very uhhh. abrupt? like it just came out of nowhere for me.
