TONIGHT!: You’ll Luz Against This Possessed Bitch

The paths that we cross with other people can leave marks on us that no one can see. Often the opportunity presents itself for an entity to expose those marks and finally free them.

Patience is above all the saving grace for those who want the most out of life or death. In Catholic School, the services always had the same message, “Be patient and kind, and all good things will come to you.” Does finally having your number chosen to be next to be possessed, count? In any case, you’ll lose against this possessed bitch in 2018’s Luz.

I picked the wrong time of night to watch a movie like this. I don’t shy away from foreign or subtitled films, but when you’re googly-eyed from bong hits and hard seltzers, things get lost in translation. I am no quitter, and when I start a movie, I finish it, damn it. What appealed to me the most was how short it was, only 70 minutes, so I felt no harm in giving it a fraction of my time. But damn, the time passed in fucking fractions when I had no fucking clue what was going on.

Luz is a taxi cab driver who probably killed someone and turned herself in to the police. Another scene that’s set like softcore porn introduces us to two people who look like tweakers trying to avoid each other or outside elements. Something happens in a bathroom when two enter and only one leave. Then they make their way downtown, walking fast, faces pass, and they’re Luz-bound!

An infinite number of ‘what’ and ‘ugh, how much is left of this?’ was said, and when it finally got to the end, I went to sleep very peacefully knowing that I just had a waking nightmare and will now have a dream where I won’t remember a damn thing just like this movie. I don’t remember shit about this. One thing is for sure I don’t want to see this again or Luz again. Worst cabbie ever.

Available to watch on Tubi, Crackle, Sling, and Amazon Video
