It’s a propulsive, energetic love story by way of 1980s tinged pulp, a wild ride that deserves to be seen on a big screen and with the biggest crowd possible. In her 2019 debut feature,, she cements her voice and gift for capturing these themes in the loudest way possible.
The script – credited to Glass and Weronika Tofilska – centers around Lou , a manager at a gym in the desert. Lou leads a solitary life, flitting between cleaning up messes at the gym and returning to her apartment and cat. She politely declines the affections of Daisy , a regular who can’t take a hint, and stays as far away as possible from her menacing arms-dealing dad . It’s a simple, lonely life that cracks open when body builder Jackie comes into town.
It’s a desire that has a cost, as this review has hinted at. Yet, it seems to be the point the film is trying to get across too. Jackie, hopped up on steroids, has moments throughout the film where she magically bulks up, Hulk-style, and has outbursts . She confesses to Lou at one point that she’s hurt people before. In a movie that’s anything but grounded, there is a soft center at the heart of this obsessive, violent love story: the search for acceptance.
