3/4

The film itself shimmers with a kind of free-floating hilarity, and the team’s sense of creativity and pleasure is catching.

From its title sequence to its languid eying of the palazzo’s suggestive artworks, “Electra” declares its affinity for visual (and sonic) swagger.

It’s this version of Electra that would have packed the biggest punch and would have fallen in line with the title’s ties to Greek mythology.

This flamboyantly fun thriller from Hala Matar is a millennial take on The Talented Mr. Ripley, with a pop art twist.

Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Playfully uses subtitles and title cards and music to cut up the imagery in a way that gives the film a very online video aesthetic feel, which creates an interesting tension with the 15th century palazzo setting in which most of the action plays out.

[The] overwrought yet undercooked narrative eventually degenerates into rote, pseudo-shocking violence.

I don't even know where to start with this... I'll give it one pop 🍿 And that's only for the painting of the unicorn otherwise this movie is a total waste of time. Don't bother with this one nothing interesting the characters are portrayed half-heartedly and I'm not really sure what the director was trying to get across.... Hence the one star rating

i love maria bakalova, and she does a pretty good job here. however, the film just feels a bit random and superficial. some scenes were a lot of fun, then by the ending it seemed that the writers ran out of ideas. this one should have gone straight to streaming much faster, and is still only available on ppv. i don't recommend purchasing it.
