Animals (I) (2019)
1/10
Pigs On The Wing

Yet another movie from the much-lauded Irish film industry that thinks it's clever and edgy but is simply hackneyed and derivative. I tuned in to see the sights of my home city of Dublin but what there was of the Fair City didn't justify sitting through this utter dreck.

OMG, girls who swear, drink and drug?? FEMALES, honestly?? Haven't seen that before! Not since the last Fleabag/ Chewing Gum/AbFab knockoff anyway. Depicting them in HILARIOUSLY vulgar tableaux like studying their own urine or lying splay-legged in BIG PANTS (lol) is about as funny and intellectual as it gets - these inexplicably well-heeled gals lurch from one drink or toke to the next, spewing foul-mouthed non-sequiturs which pass for wit in the cool, Emperor's New Clothes world of Irish cinema.

Shawkat probably thought it was a good idea to attach herself to something from the land of U2, Riverdance and Linger, but her stock plummets as she plods through this morass.

Women don't need us to make a dog's dinner - sisters are doing it for themselves.
