This is one of my all time favorite movies of all time, I mean it's a coming of age story about a cannibal... How could that get any better?
Before I had seen this movie I had never heard of Julia Ducournau, but this movie alone made me a huge fan. On the outside this movie is a simple body horror story trying to use gross imagery to shock audience for cheap thrills, but there is so much underlying meaning behind this film. The connections to her transformation have deep connections to the development that a woman goes through in her life and it is through the grass images that Julia Ducourau tries/succeeds in giving the audience a look into what every woman goes through. So to me this is a movie made by women as an attempt to give men a better understanding of what women are forced to go through and the pressures society puts on them.
So that being said I 100% recommend this movie to everyone, and I give it a 9/10.
