Review of Censor (2021) by Bertobellamy — 14 Jul 2021

'Censor,' which follows the journey into the darkness of Enid,— a woman who censors films for a living —, is the debut film of Prano Bailey-Bond, who seems invested in discovering the origin of evil.

But does it comes from the outside or within? While governments are occupied blaming always external forces for the turmoil inside their countries, the evil within rises. Their double standards are as horrifying as the violence they use to condemn, and 'Censor' reminds us of it with an original and entertaining piece. But is it enough to censor the "bad stuff" inside our minds to stay safe? Can we really stay away from dark impulses? Is it better to live in a happy fiction than the crude reality? Despite the B-movie feeling, 'Censor' sure has some deep questionings.

If you love Peter Strickland films, then you're in for a treat.
