Review of Susu

Problematic Mess
29 March 2023
It has some nice ideas, but ultimately it was a bit of a mess. It tried to go down too many paths rather than going for fewer ideas and making them stronger. Which left a lot of plotholes.

I actually hated the character Shirley. Who is literally a man dressed as a woman, this is supposed to throw her "identity and sanity" into question. Which is problematic cheap exploitation. It casts a gross and unnecessary stain over the rest of the picture. They are disabled to add to the mess too.

None of these factors actually add to the film, and it just feels like a cheap villainisation of these characteristics. And to top it off, you could completely remove the character from the film, and still have an identical plot.

The set up had promise, but it fell flat.
