Excision

Un aperçu de l'esprit très singulier d'une adolescente en pleine puberté qui déteste son école, est obsédée par le sang et veut devenir chirurgienne. Et sa tête est un peu en désordre. Le réalisateur la place dans un joli quartier américain en tant qu'étrangère asociale et peu attrayante, avec des idées et des rêves visuellement intéressants, mais le spectateur ne peut pas les comprendre ni y trouver de lien en raison de leur bizarrerie et de leur détachement. Le film ne parvient pas à faire comprendre au spectateur les tourments du personnage principal et devient plutôt une succession de conflits entre l'héroïne et sa mère, son professeur, le révérend, ses camarades de classe, etc. Les petits rôles de Malcolm McDowell et John Waters sont plaisants, mais ne font pas s'élever le film. Et la fin surprend, mais ne choque pas autant qu'elle le voudrait. JEREMIE (21/10/2018)

Ha! I was expecting some sort of serious and oppressive dose of insanity, but in the end it’s a light-hearted joke. The performances are perfect, and so are the dream sequences, visually and artistically. The plot is absent, basically, you only wait for the protagonist to stop being a perverted psychopath in a cute innocent way and get tougher. She does gets a little tougher in the end, but it wouldn’t have mattered if she hadn’t, the film would still be likeable. In my opinion, one of the most distinctive additions to the genre this year (even if it fails to meet the expectations of classic horror fans). Only a few of us will be satisfied. (06/10/2012)

Few would have said about the model-faced AnnaLynne McCord that after a few series, it would be time for her to play some of those human monsters, too. AnnaLynne is super sexy in Nip/Tuck, 90210, and Dallas, but along with all those perfect beauties with hearts on their sleeves, she's also Pauline - a teen with a blood fetish who not only doesn't look attractive, she acts like a total retard and no one would even lean a bike on her at school. Yet even with this appearance and total outsider behavior, the lovely Pauline will achieve all the goals she has set for herself. Whether it's losing her virginity during menstruation or getting spare organs for her sister. And of course, we have the great famous former actress Traci Lords as her mother. It couldn't be more ironic than this. (17/11/2014)
