Synopsis

Yeast is a film about a maddeningly un-self-aware, tyrannical and emotionally stunted young woman trying to negotiate two toxic friendships. With a physical aggressiveness and emotional violence that is surprising, yet undeniably feminine in nature, Yeast explores the grinding mechanics of friendships that have run their course. Relations between these young women aren’t just a ittle bit ripe… they are Ebola-infested, maggot-filled and bursting at the seams.

A shocking depiction of some really nasty human behavior. It's like a torture-porn movie where the torture is emotional instead of physical, (mostly). Unlike most films, this doesn't shy away from real emotional abuse and horror. I recommend it, but only for those who want to witness the dark side of human nature.

No pain, no gain should be the motto for this and Frownland.

Doesn't Amy Judd remind people of Vanda Duarte? It can't be just me.
