As a senior in high school, Joan Huang idolizes winning Prom Queen as the embodiment of popularity, beauty and the ultimate form of acceptance into American life. In her relentless pursuit for the crown, she undergoes an experimental racial transformation to become White and win Prom Queen. However, what she thought was a dream come true soon reveals itself to be an emotional and physical nightmare. "Slanted" offers a searing and unapologetically satirical view on race and the uncomfortable journey of learning to love yourself and your culture.

Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting Mar 28
As personal as Slanted feels, the superficial nature of its satire winds up softening a lot of its sharper edges. That likely suits its teen demographic well but won’t be as winsome for seasoned horror fans. Go to Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Mar 21
Even when Slanted becomes surprisingly bloody, the writer-director ensures that the anguish of the immigrant experience courses through every frame. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Mar 17
Wang springs a few clever surprises en route to a fairly predictable, if far from pat ending. Reductive as the outcome may be, the writer-director remains undeniably daring, spinning comedy from an inferiority complex and coming out on top. Go to Full Review Monica Reid Far Out Magazine Dec 3
3/5
The script unfortunately loses focus and clarity during the less amusing and more gruesome final act, although not enough to spoil the overall production. Go to Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast Jun 24
3.5/5
Slanted dabbles in the world of satire with body horror and finds its heart in the relatability of navigating different worlds. At times, the very format hindered the fullness of humanity that made it so brilliant. Go to Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast Jun 24
3.5/5
Slanted blends satire, horror, and comedy to explore identity and belonging with bite and wit. It’s sharp, personal, and a reminder that these struggles aren’t unique. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
