Film after film: Medusa Deluxe (dir. Thomas Hardiman, 2022)
It's a bit a film about nothing, but it's extremely watchable. The plot is simple, it deflates weirdly and interestingly by its end: there's an art-hairdressing competition, and someone gets murdered. Everyone stays in the industrial building that the competition was to take place and waits, reacts to, and gets anxious about the murder. The film's main trick is that it pretends to be one continuous shot, which conditions the plot's development: there are three people in the room, someone leaves, the camera follows them until they get elsewhere, where there are other people, and so on. There are some beautiful performances here, especially from Perkins, who's the film's prickly heart. The ending can annoy, but I loved it.

Medusa Deluxe Review- A Murder Mystery Set At A Hairdressing Competion Doesn't Make You Pull Your Hair Out

Medusa Deluxe (2023)
I’ve been slipping into my laziest writing tendencies lately, defaulting to an oddly optometrist approach to film criticism. Because I’ve been catching up with too many 2023 releases all at once in this final month of the year, it’s been too difficult to write about them all in individual reviews. So, I’ve been forcing them into false-binary competitions, like an eye doctor operating a…

Medusa Deluxe [trailer]
A murder mystery set in a competitive hairdressing contest.
The movie profits from its unusual and colourful setting. The hair creations are certainly eye-catching. Though the murder mystery itself is a bit thin, and it takes a while until you can identify all the characters. It helps that many of them are quite interesting.
As it's often the case with "one-shot" movies, the film struggles a bit to create tension with the characters often having long walks in and around the building to get to the next scene. But it makes you wonder on what location the movie was filmed.
