Boldly and Laudably Uncomfortable

A bold and intentionally uncomfortable film, not only in its portrayal of the truth of man's dark sexual impulses but in its willingness to ask questions without answering them.

The three principals shine, each in their own way. Yvonne Emilie Thälker (the eponymous Susan) gives an unnerving portrayal of a sex-doll who we hope or fear could be much more. Marc Romeo as her creator is disturbingly clear-eyed about his singularity of purpose for her, with his practical but not principled approach. Holding it all together is perennial horror star's Damian Maffei's understated but painfully realistic performance as a deeply self-disappointing person whose desire for redemption takes him places the other two may not want to go.

Even with some minor stumbles in the acting from supporting characters and some dents in the plot,I can see why this film nevertheless currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
