THE RINGMASTER
RELEASED OUT NOW! (also DVD/download) 18 | 98 minutes
LIMITED Is anything more tiresome than a movie that lectures you for watching it? This Danish nonsense could’ve been an unremarkable torture porn copycat in 2007, but as it’s 2020, it’s been given a spit and polish: chapter cards, a back-and-forth structure, and fourth-wall-breaking chat. Upshot is: women have to be tortured for entertainment, and you are to blame. Performances are fine and there are a couple of creepy moments, but it feels horribly dated, and utterly humourless.
