Moving – particularly when focusing on Venus’s life and legacy – but the majority of this bizarrely foregrounds her 3 biological brothers and their quest to ‘solve’ her murder. I wanted to see a film which talked to people who actually knew Venus as she was, not three men who seem to have practically disowned her and now want to make amends. I can also see no reason why the film felt it necessary to include gruesome ‘uncovered’ details of her final moments. It felt obscene and disrespectful.

A horror movie in which memory is the killer and humanity is the victim.

Sexiest movie ever made. Nothing more sensual than metal on metal, broom broom goes the engine baby and I'm revving for more. Gestural and sensual and everything cinema can and should be.
