Clean (IV) (2021)
7/10
Similar but different to ... NOBODY (2021)
2 February 2022
... To the recent cult hit NOBODY. Which itself was a riff on the idea that sometimes it pays to look twice at people we take for granted and assume are harmless. The major difference between the two films is that NOBODY really wanted to be a crowd-pleaser and pretty much succeeded, even if the story got nuttier at every turn. CLEAN on the other hand seems to want to please nobody (bad pun!) but itself, showcasing brilliant direction and editing for the sole purpose of building to a climax so late in arriving that, even when the film finally explodes, the audience is out of patience and feeling betrayed. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer." Please check out my list "167+ Nearly-Perfect Movies (with the occasional Anime or TV miniseries) you can/should see again and again (1932 to the present))
