Reviews for Kissed
Stopkewich has taken on a subject that can't help but be controversial but presents it in a way that is completely non-exploitive and non-sensational. . .it is lyrical.
It is a futile claim to make that Kissed is less about necrophilia than it is about the nature of obsession and addiction. Though this is a perennial (and often generic) theme in film, in Kissed it is uniquely characterizing.
Explores the intersection between sex, death and the search for transcendence.
What makes this film standout, is that the subject matter is necrophilia.
