SHARP OBJECTS
August 5, 2018  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Part 5. Part of this episode includes some unforgettably dramatic sex scenes, with more context and subtext than such scenes usually are given. But another part includes the very odd spectacle of the town’s young women, including Amma, take part in a poetic-license “recreation” of a Confederate-era story (pictured) as creepily sexist and subversive as anything in The Handmaid’s Tale. And the entire festival is held on the grounds of Adora’s plantation-style estate, which only adds to the creepiness.

Dear Daviv...Again I have remark on the music choices for this program. The flashbacks continue and start to add up and the end of show's sex scene...was both hidden and shown....love when someone has something to hide that's obvious...M
