“You were there when all these streets ran with mud and river water, and when you and I went to see Macbeth onstage, and I couldn’t stop dancing under the streetlamps afterwards reciting the words, ‘Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow,’ and Claudia thought I was so handsome and so witty and so clever, and we would all of us always be safe, you were there.”

Smoke and Stack character study with background canon ships. My preferred fix-it route where they *spoiler* become vamps together. Becuase that's always a good thing in my book.
A moment ago he’d have given anything to have Stack smiling, talking bull. He knows that Stack is on the other side, staring back. And if he puts his ear to the wall, Stack will whisper the very thing he knows he’d be saying if their positions were reversed. Let me in, Elias. Why would you keep us apart?

The type of life I long for
Perhaps I had been prepared for the body horror element, what disturbed me the most was the food horror: just some of the most unappetising food styling I've seen on film, plus the nauseating sound effect of ingesting and making said food. I would go as far as calling it a diet-friendly film.
On a more serious note, the first half of the film really had me gripped. Fargeat is evidently a skilled visual story-teller, shoutout to the opening section of Elisabeth's rise and fall. If I remember correctly, the last shot of Elisabeth's ketchup-stained, Walk of Fame star in the opening section was mirrored in the final shot. How Elisabeth's flat is shaped like a circle is also a lovely touch, a snake eating its tail, perhaps?
What didn't quite work for me was the third act. Although I am fond of the final shot, halfway through the film we could already see how it was going to end. For me, I think we could have got there sooner, and cut to black at the mirror scene. I would also appreciate a quick shot of drop box 207 as Elisabeth went to collect her last supply, to demonstrate the inevitability. I appreciate the director was aiming for how the audience/consumers were all complicit and should be marked thus. Also would have liked a bit more complexity and inner struggle with Sue, who's clearly aware of her origin. Overall, still enjoyed it and will be keeping an eye on the director's career for sure.
