Barbarian 2022

Everything I expected from an horror movie in 2022 and more! The main female protagonist is well written, has strenght and weaknesses, the movie is anchored in our patriarcal society, it has strong views and adapted answers for the rape mentality, the horror is brutal and bloody but not overwhelmingly "gore" and it's wrapped inside two (actually three) well-written stories that are believable and true to life. It's not movie of the year by any mean but it's a solid, well-rounded piece of cinema that mixes "classic horror" with 21st century values, and the actors are all credible. I recommend.
