Compelling plot and great sense of surreality. Kind of reminded me of "Sorry to Bother You" but about skinny middle-class white girls. I felt like some of the symbolism and themes were a bit on-the-nose and it all wrapped up more neatly than I expected. Overall I liked it a lot and didn't find the style as off-putting or experimental as other reviewers, but I agree with the person who said it seemed like it came directly out of an MFA program.
