Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt Skewers #MeToo Moral Posing

Luca Guadagnino's After the Hunt is a talky stew of post-#MeToo provocation. It's maddening, devilish, caustic, and occasionally quite funny in its shotgun-like satire of campus sex-and-status politics. The movie's strength lies in what it refuses to say, what it refuses to commit to, what it refuses to make easy—and its weaknesses lie in those same qualities.

Is this a critique of #MeToo, a schematically oblique both-sides cop-out, or something darker and more devious? The answer is yes. That's about the only answer the movie provides.
