<em>'MaXXXine'</em> is a positive end (?) to this trilogy of Ti West-directed flicks. I'd rank it below the prior releases, but that's simply because I enjoyed those ones more. This one is absolutely a good movie, yet again Mia Goth and the...

**Maxxxine** serves as a **crowd-pleasing** end to a strong trilogy. No fuss, no frills, decent pacing, with a more simplified **action-focused** plot. Lots of **good gore**, and perfect to kiss in the back of a cinema to. **8/10**

Maxine sure wants to be famous. I really hope she's got what it takes. Gotta give 110% if you want that big break! Do you want it? Maxine does. Fun little revenge story. Leather gloves sure make your hands strong. Good humour.
