ALPHA
The film
Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old, lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day Alpha returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.
Julia Ducournau directed 2 of my favorite movies of the last few years (Raw, Titane) and while this one isn’t on the level of those, there’s still some interesting stuff here. Her movies feel grounded at first and then turn into like body horror David Lynch type stuff. Definitely more of that here. Rented on Prime.
