Compulsus
- Kevin Ward6 juillet 2025Wally, a technical writer / beat poet, is overcome hearing stories from her friends about men who have committed abuses against women, yet have suffered no consequences. Her anger and empathy turn into a compulsion exact vigilante justice on these perpetrators. She puts the ‘beat’ in her beat poetry. However, when she begins dating a law abiding court stenographer she has to grapple with the morality of her beat downs. Is violence justified in the name of vigilantism? How about a revolution? Can she simply take victims’ words that these abuses have taken place? Compulsus offers a sort of rape revenge fantasy flick that isn’t afraid to confront what such a revolution might look like. Though I loved Promising Young Woman because of how Emerald Fennel was careful not to allow Cassie to cross certain lines in exacting her vengeance, I do think that Compulsus is a worthwhile addition to the conversation, even if it seems to land on a weird morality.
