About this deal

IndieWire said they “just love the idea that without wifi, we'd all descend into murder,” as if we didn't already know what kinda film to expect. Their fates collide with underground revolutionary Lang Dotrice (Scott Speedman), who hopes the artists will perform a live autopsy on his eight-year-old son Brecken (Sozos Sotiris) to publicly challenge prevailing wisdom on the human condition.

Sophie (Amandla Stenberg) is a recovering drug addict who surprises her group of wealthy friends by showing up at their gathering with her new girlfriend Bee (a fantastic Maria Baklova).

According to the synopsis, “A group of seven young friends have a house party at a remote mansion during a hurricane” — of course, of course, of course, it's all down to a rogue weather event — “hosted by childhood best friends Sophie, who is recently sober, and David, who is excessively wealthly”. Following up her comedic debut in BORAT SUBSEQUENT MOVIEFILM, Maria Bakalova is a bit of a blank slate here compared to her fellow cast members who get to flex their comedic as well as dramatic muscles here, particularly in one extended scene that plays out like a caustic exercise in character assassination for an entire generation of youths who can only communicate and express themselves in completely hollow statements cribbed from an online world that carries no weight at all in the real one. Here, surgery is “the new sex” and self-mutilation is elevated to an orgiastic artform: a rush of blood to the head and loins that renders obsolete old-fashioned expressions of intimacy. As a whodunnit, it will certainly keep viewers guessing – and perhaps even questioning where the boundaries of the slasher lie – but it also entertainingly skewers these Zoomers’ disconnection from both truth and reality itself. In director Halina Reijn’s twisted satire Bodies Bodies Bodies, none of the characters are particularly likeable or sympathetic.

She continued, "The only thing that really sets 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' apart is its place in the A24 hype machine, where it doubles as a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage and Charli XCX’s latest single. Alice later finds Emma dead from a head wound at the bottom of the stairs, and believes the group is being killed one by one. For, despite this group of former friends dwindling to an ever-decreasing circle, the film keeps you guessing right until the end.Bodies Bodies Bodies': Sony Pictures' Stage 6 Films Acquires International Rights To Halina Reijn's Acclaimed SXSW Satire".

Variety took note of the contemporary resonance undergirding Bodies Bodies Bodies, celebrating its “blade-sharp” dialogue, saying “there's a message buried somewhere in all this — about how today's twentysomethings are too obsessed with creating demons, often out of thin air, and knocking them down". Then, on August 12 it was granted a nationwide release with international screenings following afterwards.
