When they have to leave early some of them decide to head back to her home to continue the meeting. They stop by the local store one of their number runs for some wine and snacks.
No good will come of this.
CW: Every bit of vile language and opinion you can imagine, home invasion, sexual assault, torture and murder but in a completely non-graphic portrayal that makes it almost more shocking
I got this off a "top rated Blumhouse productions" list some time back and went into it knowing almost nothing about it.
Ooof.
It's shot to look like one almost real time continuous take focusing on the events of the evening from Emily's perspective and it's astonishingly intense and shocking.
Where I struggle with this is it's clearly a product of the culture war and even when it's nominally produced from a standpoint of what might be considered "my side" it's still part of a depressing phase in modern politics. I consider myself a conscientious objector in the culture war, refusing to participate other than by treating people how I feel is right in person and not being part of the online and media/cultural tribalism/pile-ons.
There's a very fuzzy line between movies that have serious modern politics in them and that exist purely as part of the culture war. "Sorry to bother you" is a highly political movie that to me is also just a great movie.
This, to me, is a hit piece in the culture war so while I'd probably rate it 8/10 for its daring and grim portrayal of bad spur of the moment decisions I sort of wish it didn't exist and wouldn't recommend it because of this.
