Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects. Jean-Marc Vallée, 2018.
😿
Edition screened: HBO Blu-ray set, released 2018. English language. Runtime approximately 422 minutes.

Summary: Mutilation of a pig’s head.

Details: The setting of this miniseries is a small town dominated by a hog farming operation, the only large employer in the area. There are many references to the animals and we see them running around in their pens occasionally, but the only act of violence happens in Episode Two (of eight) in which the detective experiments on a pig’s head to assess how difficult it is to remove its teeth with pliers. This is seen coming and easily skipped or fast-forwarded if you so choose.
