Review of American Psycho

Harron asked what's more unnerving - the exaggerated violence some imagine or the vacuous reality some want to be real, psychosis as much in the construct as the character. Fashion and music change, but not the debasing aspects of image-forming. What's deemed sexy often is unattainable. "Psycho's" playfully perverse climactic confession - a David Lynchian nightmare where even the buildings swallow Bateman up - made that painfully, bleakly clear.
