<p>When <a href="https://thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tag/title/the-sweet-east"><em>The Sweet East</em></a> premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this past May, our reviewer at The Daily Beast’s Obsessed used one key word to describe it: “<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/the-sweet-east-shocks-cannes-with-penises-neo-nazis-and-poe">wild</a>.” </p>
<p>Starring Talia Ryder (<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-best-movie-of-2020-so-far-is-abortion-thriller-never-rarely-sometimes-always"><em>Never Rarely Sometimes Always</em></a>) alongside a surprisingly varied ensemble cast—<a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/simon-rex-americana-interview-its-time-to-take-the-star-seriously">Simon Rex</a> (<em>Red Rocket</em>), <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/euphoria-sees-nate-jacobs-go-on-a-scary-sex-tape-rampage">Jacob Elordi</a> (<a href="https://thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tag/title/euphoria"><em>Euphoria</em></a>, [insert every big movie of the fall here]), and <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/ayo-edebiri-is-hollywoods-busiest-actress">Ayo Edebiri</a> (<a href="https://thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tag/title/bottoms"><em>Bottoms</em></a>, <a href="https://thedailybeast.com/obsessed/tag/title/the-bear"><em>The Bear</em></a>) among them—the film takes on American political ideologies in a sharp, sardonic fashion.</p>
<p>It also infuses that satire with such unforgettable images as, as our review reads, “a pierced penis … [with] many, many studs.”</p>
