the milk of human kindness has most definitely gone sour.

can't remember the last time i saw anything that offered such a nuanced, slippery portrait of moral decline [insert joke about the GOP here].

highly recommended for fans of ladies, macbeth, the handmaiden, and / or murder on the moors.

I'm making a list called "performances that are better than most of the 2018 Oscar nominations" and Florence Pugh is already on it.

My mom: I wonder why they don't want her going outside at all?
*cuts to the 4th sex scene in ten minutes*
Mom: Maybe that's why.

if someone asks me what white feminism is i'll show them this movie

hell hath no fury like a woman bored.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A really cruel, manipulative, ambitious and insensitive character. Florence Pugh makes a wonderful and very convincing interpretation, a great job. The movie itself is not so interesting or entertaining, but Florence manages to capture the interest. The rest of the characters are only well, nobody stoles the movie. It is great to see these types of characters that break the system and that are also the aniheroes of the story.

5.4 // 7.0

Omg this actually made me dislike Florence for an hour and a half! 😧😳
The power she has...

This film was beautiful and I love love me some Florence Pugh.

This was definitely a tale about the toxicity of white feminism though I'm not sure the film was aware that's what it was doing.

Would not recommend this though.

You can make your film look as drab, dreary and bleak as you like as long as you have the bright, charismatic talent of Florence Pugh to light it up.

Pugh’s so good and makes the film really. It’s a solid plot of a descent into darkness and is strong visually. I didn’t like the absence of a score considering the limited dialogue. Just meant the audio was a lot of nothing for most of the film.

not the horse!!!!

florence pugh is actually a psychopath and we’re living in her world. oscar coming february 2026 😌

no, madam. no.

Jesus fucking christ, talk about an anti-heroine.

One of the more morally slippery, repulsive things i’ve seen in a long time. The racial politics of this are complicated as hell, and I don’t think they were pulled off completely. It felt unnecessarily cruel, past a reasonable point, even for a movie about unnecessary cruelty. But the point sure came across. 

Can’t believe this was Florence’s second film ever, because she can sure as hell command the screen.
