This was an absolute fever dream of feminine horror, inter generational trauma, beauty standards, grief, and fairy tales. Complete with Tom Cruise, jellyfish, mannequins, dark humour, cult-ish behaviour, and general unhinged behaviours. I could not get enough.
Graphic: Body shaming, Emotional abuse, Mental illness, Toxic relationship, Grief, Death of parent, Gaslighting, and Abandonment
