The feature debut from music video director Ally Pankiw is a sober story of sexual assault
Rape jokes are never funny, except when a survivor gives you permission to laugh. In the rearview of a hard-earned recovery, it is pretty funny that the joke-teller went to bed in a sopping wet towel, commended by their friends because at least they took a shower for once. Sometimes, it’s okay to find humor in the lefty, down-with-the-patriarchy type boyfriends who still find a way to make your assault about them. Sometimes. More often, these jokes are less punchline and more punch in the gut.
Early scenes feature some pretty brutal dialogue in an attempt to be cutting-edge , and the flashback structure takes a little while to find its footing. Still, the result is a surprisingly gripping “mystery” that builds to a genuinely moving climax—one viewers might see coming, but still manages to feel shocking and urgent nonetheless. But while the writing is mostly good, none of these highs would have been nearly as high without Sennott, who makes a real bid for future dramatic roles here.
