Her Smell

...[captures] the fate of the anti-rock star, the mid-Nineties female-fronted acts that were going to destroy the label system but ended up just the same self-destructive grist in the mill...

...[Moss] sinks her claws into the film with peerless dedication and turns it into something halfway rewarding.

...built around a performance of near-unwatchable toxicity by Elisabeth Moss, who channels a combination of Courtney Love and Heath Ledger’s Joker with her spiteful, slowly imploding rock star.

...Elisabeth Moss stråler som en bævrende sort stjerne.

Viewers who make it through the first half of Alex Ross Perry's 'Her Smell' will be rewarded, but it isn't easy.
