it's best to assume the filmmakers have their tongues at least somewhat in cheek, and just embrace the crazy as a pulpy camp indulgence, like some kind of post-feminist "Barbarella" meets "The Handmaid's Tale"
a stunning, vibrant fairy tale tinged with suspense and packed with riveting ideas, Alice Waddington's "Paradise Hills" is one of the most visually spectacular movies of the year so far
"Paradise Hills" wants to create a disturbing dystopia, but without any sense of danger or fear. Instead, it relies on weak twists that range from dull to laughably nonsensical
"Paradise Hills" is one of the most visually beautiful movies of the festival, but the strange plot will make it extremely divisive; If you're a fan of the visual part of media or just love insane costumes, it's absolutely worth a look
