American Psycho review: Perfect musical for an era of looksmaxxing misogynists

But songs like Hard Body sound weak beside the genuine 80s hits by Phil Collins, Tears for Fears and, yes, Huey Lewis, included to mock Bateman’s cultural void. The keyboard-and-bass heavy score is mostly there to provide a vibe, and a constant, larky juxtaposition between the form (a musical!) and the content (slaughter and dismemberment!). And to underpin the thrilling, machine-tooled choreography of Lynne Page, which references aerobic workouts and Janet Jackson music videos.
