    “Confusingly attractive” tells you this person is avoiding some introspection.

      No im very bisexual and would describe everyone in that film as confusingly attractive, I get its the point, but they all look very fake and plastic to the point its just on the edge of the uncanny valley.

      I haven’t seen the film or read this review, so I find it very possible that it was lifted out of context or maybe from someone who isn’t a native speaker. Because the context I immediately assumed is that their attractiveness is confusing because mattel is virtue signaling about body acceptance and diversity in the entire film, and yet all the characters are of course conventionally attractive, and makeuped to shit. This though is based on an assumption of what the film is about to be fair.

        It’s not really about that. It is really more of a pink acid trip, or a comedy version of the matrix. Just go see it and stop guessing.

          That sounds fun. I am pretty against films made to sell toys, so I might have to skip it. Sorry.
