Karina Longworth Prefers The Human Centipede to Another Year
Mike Leigh's Another Year, which has been met with generally positive reviews (currently 89% on Rotten Tomatoes) and even some Oscar buzz for Lesley Manville's performance, has just received it's first takedown from a major critic. "I haven't seen a film this year that so openly invited me to revile each and every one of its characters -- and I reviewed The Human Centipede," wrote Karina Longworth in LA Weekly. Not only that, her Human Centipede review was a positive one. [LA Weekly]

Karina Longworth's a hack who, as someone on her Weekly review commented, writes like "a bratty liberal arts student." If more directors and critics Karina's age and younger (or let's say the "me generation" to be a bit more expansive) could manage a fraction of Mike Leigh's humanity, our film culture (and the world) would be so much richer.
