Strange Darling

Strange Darling
During the night, a man and a woman talk to each other in his truck in front a motel. They drink and smoke in the car while discussing whether they will have sex or not and the "rules". The woman, who loves kinky sex, asks him whether he is a serial-killer or not and they decide to go to a room. On the next morning, the woman flees from the motel while the man hunts her down.

I wanted to like it more than I did after hearing so many glowing reviews. Willa Fitzgerald is terrific, the general idea of the story is strong, and the non-linear structure served the movie well. However, I predicted a key element very early on, and the movie itself feels weirdly pretentious in a way it didn’t need to, such as announcing it was shot on 35mm film.
