“The Outside,” Episode 4
In what was for me the great disappointment of the series, an odd-duck bank teller (Kate Micucci) becomes convinced by her nauseating co-workers that she needs to experience the world as a conventionally beautiful person. When one of them introduces her to a strange body cream—sold by an infomercial ghoul (Dan Stevens)—a plodding body-horror odyssey unfolds. Director Ana Lily Amirpour has all the elements in place and delivers a few stylishly depraved sequences, but the rest is (sorry!) pretty skin deep.
