This movie is not for the faint of heart. In many ways, Wetlands verges on horror. Particularly with its central preoccupation with the monstrous, becoming, adolescent female body.
I could write a whole paper about the movie in terms of the monstrous feminine and the grotesque.. This movie obliterates any traces of the romanticized adolescent female body and forces you to confront her becoming body in all it's leaky glory.
I loved this movie, and while it wasn't quite as gross as I was expecting, it was effectively shocking. I had to look away many times...I'm squeamish. Yes, it was gross. Yes, some parts were downright foul. At times, it was nasty, nasty, nasty...
This is an entirely different kind of gross-out comedy than anything Hollywood could ever come up with...
This is 100% R-rated and NSFW.
Scandalous!
