Review: (#1) The design is somewhat psychedelic, but that’s really all that it is. There’s nothing exceptionally special about this one. (#2) There are plenty of details here to draw the eye and the color scheme is solid, but it also feels like it’s trying way too hard to be clever and then not succeeding.

(#3) Very reminiscent of the punk influence that seems to infuse the film, making it a solid design. (#4) It’s a slightly more compelling version of the first poster design, bolder and more connected to the film itself.

Trailer Rating: B

Review: Elle Fanning is enough reason to give the film a chance, but the trailer does have some potentially humorous elements. It does feel a bit sexist in ways, but that could just be a knee-jerk reaction to this type of trailer design.
