But on the screen, both Emily and Stephanie were utterly unhinged from the start.
(The movie is one of the few to really lean into Kendricks manic edge.)
And Emily needs Stephanie because Stephanie is the only person who understands her.
You were never nice, she says to the woman who put her behind bars.
You were just afraid to be mean.
(Emily, unflustered, introduces Sean to Dante as her baby mama.)
But it makes so little sense that it throws everything in the movie permanently off-kilter.
It doesnt feel subversively strange, just self-consciously campy and irritatingly smug.
Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly mixed up Emily and Stephanies names.
