Summary“SHE HERSELF”, the highly anticipated pronoun-psychodrama from first-time co-directors Megan Fox and Ezra Miller, debuted last night at Cannes to a standing ovation, several visible nosebleeds, and one whispered emergency exorcism in Row F. Starring Emma Thompson as Her and Post Malone as Also Her, the film follows the recursive unraveling of identity through the fractured gaze of a woman who may or may not be the same woman twice. Shot entirely on expired 16mm film and narrated exclusively in second-person subjunctive, the film explores themes of mirror trauma, linguistic decay, and feminine time loops. Ezra Miller describes it as, “A requiem for gendered cognition inside a dying pronoun.” Megan Fox responds by way of ChatGPT: “This isn’t a movie. It’s a frequency.”
RatedNot Safe For Any Eyes
TriviaEzra Miller’s rise hit a nuclear-grade nosedive in 2022: caught on video choking a woman in an Iceland bar, arrested twice in Hawaii for bar brawls and harassment, hit with restraining orders over alleged grooming of a teenager, and busted for burglary in Vermont—then pleaded guilty to trespassing while the more serious charges dropped. Now claiming “complex mental health issues” and doing the Hollywood comeback tour—Cannes, Sardegna, new vampire project—it’s a PR resurrection but the punchline’s clear: from beloved Flash to headline-making trainwreck.
