It is a shame that this film's examination of race and the modeling industry frequently gets sidetracked by unnecessary, and formulaic subplots. This could have bee a really biting social commentary had it had far more focus, and did not try to be multiple movies all at once.

Highly recommend seeing it in IMAX 70mm (was fortunate it enough to have that version play at my neighbourhood theatre) if you are able to. What the film lacks in character developments it more than makes up for in its overall tension and technical mastery.

I kind of wish the film had just focused on Jack White. I found him to be the most interesting of the three.

Trashy and surprising all at the same time. Feels more like a play at times than a film, but the performances are fantastic. Killer Joe is not a film that cannot easily be recommended to most people. However, those willing to take a risk are in for an experience they will not soon forget.
