Despite this being heavily advertised at my cineworld, this isnt being shown at all at my cinema. Im livid. & then my local cinema had it on day & times i couldnt get to for all sorts of reasons. So here i am on its last showing at my local cinema paying full price for the 8pm showing. I know what have i become. But this needs to be seen.

I got my timing down to a tea for this. I parked i walked into the cinema, put my glasses & the trailers were half way through. Thats owning it. Cinema had about 40 people in it which is decent see this is what happens. The trailers i saw were for all their batman films in 1 go (i attempted that years ago it was fun read it here) & what they had on in the next 2 weeks.

& then the films started… well that was very full on in lots of respects for sure.

So im all up for films with everyone being represented, but this is now two films in the space of two months that have been about lesbians on a journey of self discovery where there has been a tripping or high moment in it. Is that the only way film makers no how to do this which is a pain. Just tell a straight up story please. We dont need a weird section in it or hallucination.

Kristen was very good. She owned it & was the glue in the film. She was so soft but also so ruthless when she needed to be. Especially in act 2, she was so cool.

Katy was good too, & very hot as well. I can see why i have a friend who crushes on her. She owned it & looked so good & really went through the mill in this. Especially with her contest. Shes almost there as being leading part material.

Im not sure it needed the 80s setting. I mean i get that fitted the body building thing but im not sure it needed to be then. It could have worked in any decade. It felt like they were all also for the time a little bit to accepting of them, in the 80s that wouldnt have been as much of the case. Also the whole body building thing was meant to be super important in the first 10mins of the film & then it was forgotten about & then we were meant to care about it again at the start of act 3 again & then not bother with it after that. Oh well.

There was a really important domestic abuse story line, which was pushed to the side, which needed a lots more traction to it then it actually had. Im glad it did show how controlling & grim it could be at points but it needed to show a little bit more of it too.

There was a misjudgement with the pacing too. It went from yea this is a good film to a meh film quickly at points & then to a bloody bloody film very quickly. It needed to work out, was it a love story, was it about family or was it a film about violence. It needed to pick one as the core theme & not jump between them all, all of the time. It just lost its sense of purpose.

Ed Harris is not only getting old & put in a very bad wig, but he was misused in this film. If im honest i forgot about him a lot until the end of act 2 & then was like oh so now ive got to care if people are going to take you down.

Did no one trust anyone in this film? everyone was a snitch or wanting to blackmail or not actually were who they said they were.

There was a horrifically grim death, which was bloody deserved & im glad we saw it & the effects of it. But it just came out of know where.

Dont do drugs or steroids peoples

Also it had a vert good 80s soundtrack to it, which is probably why they set it when they did.

This film was good & im glad ive seen it but it could have been fantastic if it hadnt got muddled up it its own narrative, which is a shame.
