"There are no mistakes. Only choices. Right and
wrong. You saw what you wanted. You gave what you wanted to give. But did you
truly need it, Auntie P? Or did you truly need to give something easy? You must
suffer not to suffer. Are you ready to play more? What do you love? What do you
love? Think hard. Real hard."
There's a lot of hate for Vicious out in the world
right now. Far more than expected, possibly due to the film finding itself in
the dredges of Paramount Plus, but Vicious is probably writer/director
Byran Bertino being the most Bryan Bertino as possible. If you've seen any of
his films before (The Strangers, The Dark and the Wicked, Monster),
then you already know this man is nihilistic as fuck. And boy, howdy, Vicious
lives up its title in terms of “feel good movie of the year.”
