Utopia
When The Sweet East premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this past May, our reviewer at The Daily Beast’s Obsessed used one key word to describe it: “wild.”
Starring Talia Ryder (Never Rarely Sometimes Always) alongside a surprisingly varied ensemble cast—Simon Rex (Red Rocket), Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, [insert every big movie of the fall here]), and Ayo Edebiri (Bottoms, The Bear) among them—the film takes on American political ideologies in a sharp, sardonic fashion.
It also infuses that satire with such unforgettable images as, as our review reads, “a pierced penis … [with] many, many studs.”
