Shot by Rain Li, "Habit" is sometimes riveting to look at. It's so refreshing to see a film use color so prominently: deep crimsons and blues, the girls' candy-colored go-go boots flashing underneath the black robes, the canary yellows and garish pinks of Ho's outfits (Abigail Keever did the costumes). So many contemporary movies seem afraid of color. Shadows and dishwater-greys and browns predominate, even in movies adapted from comic books. If you go back and watch "Black Narcissus" (another nun story!) or "Meet Me in St. Louis," or any of the films in the Technicolor era, it's almost shocking to see all those vivid lush colors. "Habit" is filled with shining blazing colors, but not much else. Read the full review here.

 
 

Fishnet Flix - Habit

If a movie about LA party girls who pretend to be nuns that stars Mr. Gavin Rossdale and got backlash due to Paris Jackson portraying a "lesbian Jesus Christ" intrigues you, welcome to the show! Habit is pure microwaved camp, giving us Dolls Kill does Kill Bill. Aiii! While the movie probably won't win any Oscars anytime soon, we'd at least like to nominate the costumes! Designer Abigail Keever does a fab job with 60s, 70s, and 90s fashion references, with dem "nuns" in gogo boots, candy-colored lingerie, and a villain serving Cocaine Kacey Musgraves vibes. Glorious!
