Assassination Nation (2018)
Prepare for discomfort and discourse, and a really great film
I enjoyed this film sooo much. It was terribly triggering in a lot of important ways, I was uncomfortable for much of the film and was engaged the whole duration of the movie. The friendship between the protagonists was fantastic, and I've never seen high school girls portrayed in such an honest and positive light. Also, the way the movie was shot and edited for at least the first 4/5 of its run was incredibly interesting, with multiple frames showing different characters' simultaneous experiences and other novel film techniques. Some scenes were so intense and graphic but the feats of acting performed by the actresses made it feel organic and connected me to the moment. Super enjoyable, and intense, and as unsettling as it was because of its resemblance to life. Go see it
