Combat Girls

About This Movie

Combat Girls dives into the murky waters of hate and redemption. The film's atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, reflecting Marisa's toxic worldview. Her anger and prejudices are rawly portrayed, making her a rather unsettling character to sit with. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, allowing the tension to build until her encounter with the Afghan refugee shifts everything. This juxtaposition of extremes—the hate and the humanity—creates a powerful commentary on the conflicts we face within ourselves. The performances are gritty and visceral; you can feel the weight of Marisa’s convictions crumbling as she confronts her own biases. It's all very real and unfiltered, making it a striking piece to consider.
