Review of The Perfection (2018) by Amadouiraklidis — 19 Apr 2023

Nothing has me laughing harder than the comments talking about how this is a "masterpiece" because it makes you feel uncomfortable, disturbed, emotional pain and that it reflects the "difficulties women go through.".

I saw a video posted on the web of mexican cartel members cutting the guts out of a rival gang member while he is alive and screaming. I felt uncomfortable, disturbed, enraged, and pain, was that video a masterpiece?

There were many other issues with the movie, particularly in how unbelievable it was, and other technicals like pacing and camera shots. I won't even bother getting into how ridiculous the plot was and wildly divergent actions in the first half of the movie and the latter revealed motivations. Those issues were minor compared to problem with the message of the movie.

I empathize with everyone who lived vicariously through the film and saw it as feeling vindicated or felt some sense of justice. But recognize what you are enjoying and promoting, perfectly encapsulated in the final shot-- the sadistic enjoyment from the subjugation and torture of others.
