“Form is the argument.”
Every composed frame and deliberate cut is evidence that control can be thrilling in its own right.

Court is in session
Put Kill for Me on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.

“Technique in search of a pulse.”
Immaculate construction is still construction. The film may be too busy proving its craft to feel alive.
