Powder Room (15) 86 mins **
Oh, here we go: the
semi-inevitable, semi-inevitably cackhanded British attempt to summon up
one-gazillionth of the interest generated by Bridesmaids or Girls. MJ
Delaney’s film explores various resistible ways of opening out Rachel Hirons’
stageplay “When Women Wee”, set over one evening in a Croydon nightclub’s loos:
attitudinous musical interludes, in-yer-face puking inserts, cutaways to Kate
Nash snorting coke to the accompaniment of a comedy bugle. When the pottymouthing
stops, it emerges Hirons has points to make about female status anxiety – but Powder Room is still only as empowering
as anything else that might go out on ITV2 after the watershed.
Powder Room opens in selected cinemas from today.
