SUPERSWEET
A Wildly Stylish Comedy-Horror That Captures the Madness of Modern Hustle Culture
SuperSweet is a sharp snapshot of contemporary survivalism, tapping directly into the anxieties and absurdities of modern life. In an era where the cost of living rises faster than opportunities, unconventional hustles have become a currency of their own, and the film leans into that cultural truth with wit and precision. At its centre are Sugar and Honey, two young American women navigating the financial pressures of life in London by selling feet pics online, a premise that could easily veer into parody, yet here becomes a surprisingly astute reflection of Gen-Z resourcefulness and digital-age labour.
What begins as an offbeat character study quickly detonates into a wildly unpredictable descent through lust, humour, tension and genuine danger. When a young local man is invited into their flat, his excitement becomes the gateway to a night that mutates from flirtatious playfulness into full-blown chaos. The escalation is swift, deliberate and executed with an impressive command of tone.
Visually and tonally, SuperSweet is a confident cocktail of comedy and horror, embracing its own outrageousness. The film is stylishly shot, pulsing with colour and attitude, and crafted with the kind of control that shows a keen awareness of genre tradition and how to subvert it. Directors Noora Fahad and Eduarda Aun Anguita guide the narrative with boldness, delivering a frantic, one-night odyssey that spirals in increasingly unhinged directions as Sugar and Honey’s impulsive decision collides with a seductive stranger and a potentially life-altering lottery ticket.
The performances are the engine that drives the madness. The cast delivers with sharp, fearless energy, unpredictable yet grounded capturing both the volatility of the situation and the darkly playful spirit that defines the film. Their chemistry and timing allow the humour and horror to coexist without ever undercutting each other.
Ultimately, SuperSweet revels in its own delirious momentum. Blood, drugs, money, and - yes - feet, all swirl together to create a tightly wound, darkly comic thriller that never loses sight of its own chaotic charm. It’s a bold, stylish, and wickedly entertaining short that marks its filmmakers as talents to watch.
