3/10
A nice concept totally destroyed by a single character
30 September 2021
Mimi is the single most annoying character to ever exist in a movie. And not in a way that is annoying to the characters that surround her, but annoying in a way that breaks the 4th wall and specifically annoys every molecule of life-force out of you, the viewer. The writers and actress were likely going for a quirky, satirical mix of slightly annoying, comical bossiness to be the vibe of this character. Instead we have a mini Nurse Ratched who's mission is to break you, the viewer, and deprave you of any ability to enjoy the insane asylum that is the rest of this movie. Like the ooze in the Filth Element that is pure concentrated evil, Mimi oozes pure, concentrated annoyance. Imagine being thrown naked into an enclosed room full of a million hungry mosquitoes. The level of annoyance you would experience would barely register a 1 on a scale of 0 to Mimi. The writers horribly failed in the creation of her character. The actress horribly failed the execution of whatever it was that the writers actually intended the character to be. The education system failed the director for ever allowing him or her to approve such a horribly annoying performance. The world has failed us all in not creating some sort of natural disaster that could have prevented this performance to ever reach other humans' eyes. Listening to this demon hellion of a child's banter for the duration of the movie is worse than any torture Psycho Goreman could ever conceive. Filmmaking, humanity, and the universe itself will likely never recover from the effects of this unbelievably, enragingly bad character.

Good practical effects though.
