the two mermaids: hissing and singing and chewing on human body parts
me with my camera out: you're doing amazing sweeties

........ this mermaid really went through all That just so she could bang a knock off evan peters huh ............ 

ok wait i was about to post this but then i remembered that 3 years ago i made out with a dude at a party just because he looked like a knock off evan peters in the dark so i really can’t judge 😩

a gorgeously shot Polish goth musical about homicidal teen mermaids hired to sing at a nightclub. obviously essential.

fun fact: i watched this on ambien and spent most of the following day thinking that it was a dream i had. only after someone mentioned that they were going to a press screening of "the mermaid movie" did it click for me like at the end of The Usual Suspects. (i watched it again)

everything grimes wishes she was

Imagine if Gaspar Noé and (the late) Andrzej Zulawski collaborated on a remake of “The Little Mermaid” and you’ll have a faint idea of what to expect from Agnieszka Smoczynska’s “The Lure,” a wonderfully demented new musical that bridges the gap between Hans Christian Andersen and Nine Inch Nails.

The fun begins in Communist-era Poland, where a mopey young musician named Mietek (Jakub Gierszal) stands by the waters of Warsaw and strums a folksy lament. If Mietek doesn’t seem all that surprised when two comely sea sirens pop their heads out of the surf and sing a reply (promising not to eat him, natch), perhaps that’s because he’s a little tipsy — given the strange energy that pumps through Smoczynska’s film from start to finish, it won’t be long before you know just how he feels.

Why couldn't she be the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part on the top and the lady part on the bottom?

Enjoyed that a lot more than I'd expected considering I don't tend to like musicals, but the weird atmosphere and hints of surrealism hit a niche that I quite like, the one that The Greasy Strangler and to some extent Ex Drummer fall into. Definitely had some stuff to say about coming of age and sexuality, as mermaid stories tend to, I'm sure that would be clearer on a rewatch though.

The concept just sounded so strange I guess I expected a bit more weird but I was still amazed by what I got. Eerily entrancing strangeness.

Texted Julian about how much I was loving this, then it immediately careened into being a messy musical and some dude who looked like Evan Peters showed up, so maybe I spoke too soon

the premise is just so out there that i can't fully dislike this film, but almost everything else blows

Weird and unexpected, uncomfortable and unsettling. Took me by surprise on multiple occasions. Mostly because I knew very little about it before watching, e.g. I had no idea it was a musical (!!!). But I sure did feel some kind of way about it... 
The resolution, although kind of predictable, worked perfectly for me and I found I’d been drawn into the story at some point without realising it.
