A second gem from this talented auteur director - The Bad Batch review by PT

Spoiler Alert
03/10/2017

I believe Ana Lily Amirpour has made another cult classic here, just like her first feature, A girl walks home alone at night. Although this offering is more mainstream, it is far from the norm. Again skateboards and another hallucination scene feature, as in her first film. The cinematography and framing of shots is what impressed me the most with this film. Exactly like A girl walks home alone at night, certain shots are just something extraordinary.

Suki Waterhouse, one of the bad batch, who are criminals and outcasts, is banished by society into the desert wilderness. Right from the off she has to fight for her life. Suki Waterhouse is excellent at playing Arlene, vulnerable but with a deep inner strength simultaneously.

Really enjoyed Keanu Reeve's role also, as a self styled Messiah like, dream maker .

Great stuff.
