Do you want to go to the dance with us? This week, Evelyn is taking us to Australia with an amazing little indie project from 2009, directed by Sean Byrne! The Loved Ones is a film that reminds its audience that they don’t need to attend a formal school dance to have a good time on prom night, you just need weed and someone who cares. Following the traumatizing death of his father, Brent Mitchell is trying his best to cope. When he rejects Lola Stone’s proposal to go with her to the End of School dance, what seemed to be a small, inconsequential encounter ends up drastically altering the course of his life for a second time. Hell hath no fury like a girl who loves pink! Enjoy one of our most demented discussions of torture and glitter, which brings us to the trigger warnings: Gore/violence, sharp objects (of the power tool variety), incest, allusion to SA, drug use and nudity, animal cruelty.
