What’s festering beneath the ultra-luxe surface of Blink Twice’s billionaire retreat? It’s never explicitly named “Pussy Island” in the film, though it was the project’s working title. This is the feature debut of actor Zoë Kravitz, and she’s here to make a statement: about forgiveness and revenge, memory and accountability, and, most importantly, the patriarchy. She also wants to thrill and to empower, and has the shrewdly deployed Beyoncé track to prove it. That’s also where the film’s problem lies.
