Tina takes control of the situation when she tries to initiate sex with Chris. Don't frame her in an attractive way throughout, but in the scene her dialogue, red light, etc. sexualizes her and means she takes control. She takes control of their sex life, which was him being dominant before, but at the end she's on top and strangling him.
At the end, she hooks up the caravan and drives off with it, after being shown earlier in the film to struggle hooking it up
Chris drives narrative at the start of the film (he murders, we spend more time with him at the start than at the end), but focusses on her at the end, she drives it
Earlier on the jokes are at the expense of women (her mum and her being weird/stupid)
At the end doesn't resolve, ends on her hand, means she's done
One of the only films to highlight low level toxic masculinity and it's effect on relationships
Martin - steals attention with manly interests, she's secondary. He contrasts with the horrible people they are, while he's harmless. The other victims we can deal with as they are faceless or have done wrong, but Martin is neither. Also suggests that the other victims are like Martin, but we wouldn't know
Like a documentary at first - humour from representations of nationality. E.g. sitting outside of the caravan in hail is quintessentially British
Murder - Ian and hiker, his murders, glamourized, kind of with Chailey. Aggressive, cinematic, slow motion
Picture of him and her on the bridge, like she planned on killing him
Killing Chailey is the closest to justified you can get, but quickly descends to arbitrary
She's ignored and manipulated by people (mum at the beginning), but killing gives her power. but for him it stops him from being emasculated 'I just want to be feared and respected'
Breaks taboo of women masturbating - liberating + phrasing could be foreshadowing as it's phrased ominously
