Most recently, probably Andrew Dominik's Blonde, which got an absolute critical and social media mauling when it was released on Netflix in 2022.
I thought it was a fine film presented to the wrong audience. (Should have been released to Mubi or somewhere like that.)
Kind of reminded me of Fire Walk With Me in some ways and was greeted in much the same way -- with absolute venom. Whether it gets the same kind of critical reappraisal as FWWM remains to be seen.
Cronenberg's Crash is on the 'loved' pile; Gasper Noé's Enter the Void on the 'not so much' pile...
But I prefer a polarising film -- even if I hate it -- to one everyone shrugs at and says 'it was alright.' And think the world could do with more of that kind of divisive art thing.
