Where to Watch In Fabric
- Garrett Wilkins5 de junio de 2026There is a specific brand of British cinema that excels at turning the completely mundane into something deeply unsettling, and this film captures a dreary, late-seventies UK suburbia perfectly. The story itself is delightfully bizarre, centering on a cursed, blood-red dress that wreaks psychological havoc on anyone who brings it home. Of course, a movie built entirely around a piece of killer clothing inherently has a hard ceiling on how high it can score, but when you judge it based on that wild premise, you can still find things to appreciate about how well it is made. From a traditional perspective, the script heavily relies on extreme surrealist shock value and eccentric, avant-garde imagery that will alienate a lot of viewers. While the main focus is a dark satire about the literal sickness of modern consumerism and greed, it also takes a very sharp, secondary swipe at the transactional exhaustion of modern dating, framing the search for romance as just another shallow form of window-shopping. Unfortunately, the execution ultimately gets lost in its own oddity. The narrative takes some highly unique, unconventional risks with its structure, but the pacing doesn't quite land; instead of maintaining a cohesive momentum, the plot becomes disjointed, making the latter half feel fractured and repetitive before scrambling to tie its ideas together at the end. Rather than relying on a single central character to carry the weight, the film works best when focusing on how ordinary, working-class people interact with the absurdity of the premise. Watching characters treat a piece of clothing with total, deadly seriousness provides some solid dark comedy, and Fatma Mohamed-acting as Strickland's ultimate creative muse-handles the bizarre, overly poetic monologues of the department store clerk with a chilling intensity. Ultimately, though, a strong ensemble and a very distinct visual style can't salvage a script that stretches its singular concept way too thin, even when keeping the movie's natural limits in mind.
- cultfilmliker25 de mayo de 2025Sleek, outlandish entertainment! Bold and daring vision! It’s like the concept of the film Rubber but good! Love too get these little reminders of why horror is my favorite genre of film Wonderful visuals. Entrancing. Loved the experimental direction and sound design! Perfect music! Love and hate the creepy woman’s dialogue. She’s like the opposite of Kevin Malone from The Office Obviously Suspiria comparisons but I also see The Lords of Salem and other Zombie flicks Gets WILDLY disturbing out of nowhere ffs
