There may be arguably no higher particular person than John Waters (within the weirdo-filmmaker neighborhood, no less than), and the truth that it’s been 20 years since Waters’s final function movie, A Soiled Disgrace, is a indisputable fact that sits heavy on the center of Criterion buffs all over the place. Thus, once I heard that Waters is ready to start manufacturing on a brand new film starring none aside from my longtime Parks and Recreation and White Lotus crush Aubrey Plaza, I used to be abuzz with pleasure.

Waters’s new movie, titled Liarmouth: A Really feel-Unhealthy Romance, has been known as a “hilariously filthy story of intercourse, crime, and household dysfunction.” It allegedly revolves round a scammer and compulsive liar (named—what else?—Marsha Sprinkle) who steals from her household and usually runs amok after a breakup. Crush apart, ever since Plaza completely slayed her function as a mentally unwell wannabe-LA-influencer-girlie within the 2017 movie Ingrid Goes West, it’s been apparent that she possesses some critical, borderline-scary appearing expertise, and I can’t consider a greater director to profit from mentioned expertise than Waters. Even in sitcoms and comedies like The To-Do Record, Plaza merely pulls off “bizarre younger girl” like no one else. (Apart from, all you must say to me are the phrases “unlawful trampoline park,” and I’m in.)
