SheChotic 2018

I guess I can see that maybe what writer/director Leandre Fiori was trying to deliver could theoretically have had some value, but this movie is just abysmally put together.

SheChotic (strong contender for worst title ever) opens on a disclaimer that Fiori absolutely does not advocate violence against women, and hopes that, despite the content of his film, nobody will take away from it the idea that abusing women is okay. Bizarrely, we then go on to see the lead actress kidnap, torture, starve, take out her frustrations with a set of knuckledusters on, and yes, even rape and murder, a man, to absolutely zero repercussions. Which renders the "violence specifically against women" disclaimer, a bit of an odd choice. Odd, but not what actually bothered me about SheChotic. What bothered me was the acting, dialogue, soundtrack, camerawork (one conversation done entirely in rotating perimeter made me physically ill), editing (plays out like it was done by someone who thought that a bad episode of Angel was the highest level of quality one can aspire to), effects, the plethora of dropped plot threads, and the absolute nonsense ending.

This movie was an enormous struggle to get through, normally something this bad I will turn off part way through, but I guess the fact that I didn't means it's better than the ones that I did.

Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible.
