Toxic

Well if you know the song, you know how that goes ... it would have been fun I reckon if one of the characters name was Brittney ... either way and as always: no pun intended. Let me add a trigger warning to the toxic warning (or label or whatever you want to call it): this will not be easy to watch. It may have gotten some awards (Locarno to name one place) ... but not because it is entertainment ... it kind of has entertainment as a backdrop ... but the way teenage girls are being used (and it is not that you will see explicit scenes of anything in particular) ... just plain crazy.

The circumstances and society putting them in impossible situations ... also promising them so much money and fame and traveling and ... so many other things. But also telling them how they are supposed to look ... we are talking about impressionable individuals ... who try to look or achieve a physical appearance that is almost impossible to achieve ... not to mention the harm they are doing to their body ... there are scenes here .. that you need a strong stomach for (again no pun intended) ... this may be paced slowly ... but it needs to move like that ... to really make you feel ... to give you the impression of things happening .. good intentions ... and a lot of other things that go wrong ...
