I like Brick and Looper and was looking forward to Knives Out, but this Bloom thing was so godawful, Johnson will have to re-win my favor.

Gonna have to see more from Jacqueline Audry; this thing out-Sirks Sirk. And no moral come-uppance! (Virtually) no men at all! The moment where she grabs Miss America and slurps at her neck, sooooo over the top. This was great eye candy, great fun and nearly seventy years ahead of its time.
