Our take
With this queasy girlfriend-to-order horror, former YouTube prodigy Curry Barker updates the wish-gone-wrong fairytale for the incel era. An eerily hypnotic showcase for the preternatural talents of newcomer Inde Navarrette, this brutal satire comes with a warning: Always read the small print.
