There are deafening echoes of Get Out, Don’t Worry Darling and The Menu in this propulsive yet ultimately unwieldy attempt to use Epstein’s island as genre inspiration
Zoë Kravitz has arrived at the table with a plate that’s stacked precariously high. It’s a tart, topical thriller sat in a Venn diagram between the many recent “eat the rich” satires and the post-Get Out #MeToo-inflected social thrillers . It’s also about contemporary horror’s favourite buzzword, “trauma”, and also inspired by Jeffrey Epstein and his private island.
But the long days by the pool which turn into debauched nights of drug-taking start to feel wearying, and while Frida tells others and herself that she is having a great time, she starts to worry that she really actually isn’t.
