Julia Fox’s Steamy Lesbian Romance ‘Perfect’ Heats Up SXSW With Pregnant Sex, Panty Sniffing and FKA Twigs Music Ashley Moore, the lead actor in Julia Fox’s new film Perfect, urged the audience at its SXSW world premiere to leave “horny” after the screening. The movie, directed by Millicent Hailes, follows Kai, a drifter stranded in a desert town during a global clean water crisis, as she becomes entangled in a complex romance with Mallory, a mysterious and pregnant woman played by Fox. Described by one character as a “total fucking MILF,” Mallory’s presence sparks a relationship filled with emotional and physical intensity, including scenes of nudity, panty sniffing, and intimate encounters. Hailes emphasized the film’s layered narrative, calling it “three films in one” due to the nuanced dynamics between her and Moore’s characters. Fox praised Moore’s performance, declaring, “A star is born,” as the actor took on her first lead role. The film’s soundtrack features FKA Twigs’ throbbing dance tracks, with the song “Eusexua” accompanying a pivotal scene set by a lake. Hailes explained her choice, noting how the track resonated with her emotionally. During the screening, Hailes invited the audience to provide real-time feedback, encouraging cheers for scenes they loved and “oohs” for those they disliked. The crowd erupted in applause when Kai and Mallory finally share a kiss, marking a turning point in their relationship. The film also stars Lío Mehiel, Micaela Wittman, Ryder McLaughlin, Kate Moennig, and Creed Bratton, with Hailes describing the project as a “sales title” at SXSW, hinting at its commercial potential through subtle cues like “cigarette smoke signals” to buyers.#sxsw #millicent_hailes #julia_fox #ashley_moore #fka_twigs
