My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

American Mary (2012)

I love Katharine Isabelle from the Ginger Snap films so was excited to see the kind of performance she’d give in a Soska sisters film. I’ve not seen any of the Soska sisters' work but I’m going to keep an eye out for more of what they have to offer. This is a delightful film that mixes body modification with revenge. Mary Mason is a med student studying to be a surgeon someday. To pay the bills she performs an illegal operation on a stripper to make her more like a doll. Business is looking up until one of her teachers rapes her. That’s when revenge comes into play but as with all revenge stories one must be careful. Grade: B+
