2 / 5 ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆

- Anti-Rec

Very much overhyped purely for shock value if I'm going to be completely honest. Characters were very one dimensional obviously and overall the plot was kind of nonexistent. Like yes it's an "oh my god this movie was banned in *insert countries* for being disturbing!!" but that's sort of all it has for it. It's obviously not meant for someone to actually "enjoy" watching in every sense of the definition, which I completely understand and it makes perfect sense to me. You're not supposed to like watching what happens to her, which is why i sort of have to side eye anyone who claims to actually have thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Because what part is there to find joy in watching, it's a child getting abused in numerous ways and being set up for failure. Visually it has it's alright moments, but it's very clearly a product of where animation was at the time. The ending song was good, other than that, there's really nothing actually "good" going for it, just another movie hyped up for being disturbing.
