finds inventive ways to blow the hinges off, going even further into cult territory than he has ever been before.
The set-up is quick and precise — in the car on the way home from a party in the grounds of her father’s brewery, Kat bites into a worm-infested toffee apple and screams, causing a crash that kills both parents. Being orphaned, we see in a grim shadowplay, leads to her first to a care home, where she is bullied, and then into juvenile detention after fighting back.
Meanwhile Kat is transferred to Rust Bank Catholic School, where, in a refreshing twist on familiar high-school tropes, the girls are not onlymean but, in one case, also trans, a subject that is raised early and soon forgotten.
Despite the title, and two funny but morally shaded performances by Key and Peele that gently subvert their TV skit-show personas, the film is really Kat’s story, and once that’s established it’s easy to see the endgame: Kat needs to deal with her trauma and, as a bonus, save the town she once loved so much.
