Soft & Quiet (2022)
7/10
Unsavory in the End and Disturbing Throughout
17 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This movie epitomizes the concept: stupid people shouldn't commit crimes. It further reminds us that we should all be aware of accomplice liability. Once the crime starts, you are all going down for felony murder if any of you commit the felonious crime or the murder. Be careful who you associate with even if they seem like-minded. There are levels of crazy even in this all-female white supremacist society.

The acting is good. The concept is interesting. The swastika pie enticed this Jew. I appreciated the way the dialogue conveyed character without being too heavy handed. However, I found it very distracting which slurs each character chose to use and which slurs they chose not to use. It seems like maybe some of the actors weren't cool with being recorded saying slur X, but were fine with being recorded saying slur Y. If we're going whole carrot, we might as well go whole hog. I'm grateful for the camera angles, which were some respite from what I knew was going on. I guess the premise is that the minority makes it through no matter what the bad people put her through, but who wants to unpack that as the person who lived it? Much like the Human Centipede, this is a movie I wish I had not seen. However, for that in and of itself, it is a movie I am almost impressed by. My cousin abandoned her pizza after walking in on it. It is worth the view if you want to have second-hand memories of some messed up situations.
