The Ugly Stepsister (2025) - brilliantly bonkers reworking of the Cinderella fairytale from the step-sisters viewpoint. Gruesome at times with some on-the-nose (literally) body horror, but also very funny. Some great cinematography backed by a synth soundtrack which should be incongruous but works. Norwegian director, I watched with subtitles, don't know if there's a dubbed version. Think it's a satire on society's beauty expectations for women and the obsession with cosmetic surgery, in a similar vein to last year's The Substance.
8.5/10 from me, a film you'll either love or hate.
