The Outside (E04)

The first real oddball in the Cabinet of Curiosities series. It offers an ironic take on today’s consumer society. The main character, played brilliantly by Kate Micucci, is quite peculiar — her eyes are like grapefruits, and her hobbies, like taxidermy, don't exactly fit in with the gossiping women in small-town America. She comes across a cream that's supposed to improve her appearance, and then things start to get weird. While it has the potential to satirize society, it mostly just felt absurd to me. (07/11/2022)

A very disturbing metaphor of contemporary society (it would be hard to find a more horrific setting than this women's group, to be sure), shot with Juraj Herz-like cinematography and played to perfection by Kate Miccuci – her final look into the camera made me really want to applaud her.

This is one of those rare cases where the predictability of the plot is assumed and it doesn't matter at all, on the contrary it underlines the overall point of the story. The cinematography and the behaviour of the characters are very weird. (02/12/2022)
