'Strange Darlings', a movie that really needs to be seen - if it needs to be seen at all - not knowing anything about it, starts off troubling and I considered walking out to spare myself the trauma of what I imagined was coming, but sticking with it I was reasonably entertained, though not, as promotional material claims, by "the cleverest thriller of its kind," given that in this thriller some cops remain unaware of un-ignorable neighbourhood violence; because you can see where things are headed very early on; and because the exhilaration I felt when I worked out an audacious surprise turned to disappointment when the surprise didn't eventuate.
★★★☆☆
