Titane

Very good, not what I was expecting. But that's okay. I enjoyed it, overall.

Indulgent thrill ride. Couldn't look away, except for when the body horror pushed the limits of what I could watch. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that the plot was powered by such utter fan fiction fantasy that most of the many, *many* brilliant cinematic payoffs in this film weren't really earned, but this in no way took from my enjoyment. It reminded me of a much looser Substance, even though it came out three years earlier. The payoffs I was speaking about range from very gratifying slasher, drama, and action tropes, A+ cinematography, fantastic casting, powerful dialogue/performances, and a seemingly endless supply of potent, dramatic and metaphorical turns. Soft SPOILERS: If you can enjoy the first three major scenes that feature a car crash (with child skull surgery), an ear canal murder, and then an inexplicably possessed Cadillac Eldorado impregnating our exotic dancer heroine with seatbelt-bondage hydrolic sex then you'll be well rewarded with a constant mutation of plot lines and settings that keep delivering gripping scenes until the last clip that will maybe turn all the WTFs into a thoughtful 'Huh'.

One of those films in which you’ll find yourself spending more than a few minutes averting your eyes to avoid many shockingly unpleasant onscreen experiences. But, you have to give credit to Rousselle for her startling physical transformation in a stunning, audacious performance. Plus, Lindon is a heartbreakingly sympathetic character as a man willing to do just about anything to assuage his grief over his lost son. But although it’s certainly a powerfully unforgettable experience about commitment, it’s something of a challenge to endure the repugnant circumstances of Ducournau’s vision. Check it out but, only if you have a strong stomach!

I don’t understand why this movie is rated so high. It was weird in several ways, but not in one that made sense to me.

Disturbing and weird

Well that was a waste of time I'll never get back. Lol

It's more of an art film than horror.

Unwatchable and detestable patchwork of deranged scenes.

Don’t believe the tomatometer. This is a waste of your time, unless you like movies with no character development that are weird for the sake of being weird. I can get down with strangeness if it’s done thoughtfully. This ain’t it.

Takes a disturbing concept and goes all over the place. Pretentious garbage.
