![]() I want to start by praising this film's visual language. That is 100% where this film succeeds. There are some incredibly confident shots with insane color chemistry and it looks amazing. With that said, this movie is as enjoyable as watching paint dry. It's a very colorful experience in that way... (sarcasm). I could just not get invested in the monotone, one note, plot-lacking pace of this deeply profound nonsense. It's not for me! I get that. However, I am an empathetic person. I can see that this film is made for certain individuals and there was bound to be a divide between those who loved or hated it. I definitely lean towards hate. Especially after the credits rolled. The final scene was infuriating... at first. Then it lingered in my mind just long enough for me to dig into some explanation videos and eventually I gained an appreciation for it. The final moments might even be the best part of the film. I will definitely be keeping an eye on Jane Schoenbrun's future work. While this one may not have been for me, I still respect the level of confident filmmaking displayed.
