I watched Ready or Not with Samara Weaving.

A sharp little movie that was buried putatively because it was to be released shortly after a mass shooting (which movie is not, these days?), but really was shelved because it’s extremely anti-plutocrat, portraying them as people who’ve sold their souls and relinquished their humanity for wealth, but aren’t actually even really competent at anything. So, much like real life.

Weaving gives a great performance as Grace. I can’t explain this scene in depth because it’d require too much background, but following the carnage she endures, and all the trauma that she’s experienced, after her husband who of late had been trying to murder her explodes in front of her, some of his blood and viscera splatters into Grace’s mouth and onto her face.

She’s already seen and done so much she’s not disgusted by it, or really bothered by anything anymore. She smacks her lips a few times and gives an almost-perceptible look saying, “Ok, whatever” and almost seems to be laughing at herself — presumably at the contrast of who she was a few hours before to now, from happy bride to mouth filled with blood in a burning house.

It’s a great scene, both explosive in its effects and subtle in its acting. It’s a flawless juxtaposition. (And I’d bet the lip smacks were improvised.) Lady has talent. Movie is good. Recommended.
