Plot: Elisabeth is a popular entertainment icon, but her success starts to wane as she ages. Her fitness show is moved to the morning slot until the network decides it is time for a more drastic change. They want a younger, more appealing woman to draw in the viewers. Elisabeth is devastated, but a nurse in the hospital lets her in on a little secret. There is a special treatment on the black market that can turn her into the best version of herself. Elisabeth isn't keen on the idea at first, but after spending a depressing night in the bar she figures things can't get much worse.

It's easy to cite a handful of references after having watched Fargeat's latest, but none of these will capture the true spirit of this film. Fargeat tackles a socially relevant topic and there's enough substance for a healthy discussion afterward, but it's the maximalist genre eruptions throughout that made me absolutely giddy with joy. It's rare to see a film like this in cinemas and anyone who ever complained about there being nothing original to watch better go out and support this film. The best thing I've seen this year, and I doubt it's going to be topped.
