dementedly

“Tractor,” in its dementedly literal-minded transposition of abandoned machinery into intense, aesthetic presence, is also marvelous.

The theme is dementedly catchy, classical phrases capped with an industrial fizz that sounds like a can of La Croix popping open, or a cash register.

And it fully blooms in the movie’s dementedly operatic final scenes, when the scales have slipped from Chloe’s eyes and Diane is revealed in all her deranged glory.

It is deeply confusing, dementedly self-indulgent, to kind of want to be in a city soundtracked by ambulance sirens.

He ingests too much news, too, like a goose dementedly stuffing its own liver.
