Review of Sweetie

Sweetie (1989)
1/10
Warning! Extreme Tedium Ahead
24 November 2020
If you are looking forward to the hopeless long long effort to convince a naked obese rude woman to climb down from a tree, you're in luck! Otherwise, sorry - you've lucked out. This is awful.

I just thought that I may not have sufficiently warned others of this Jane Campion film, so I returned to my review from years ago. The movie dsoes not make clear its loathing of the detestable central figure - that is perhaps the principal problem of the film.

Think of the person you've known who has most revelled in being an undeserved "victim" figure in a plea for pity - and the one who has tried most to hurt your feelings - combine them and then spend hours with him/her - and you have this movie.
