A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
It's funny to read in the comments how this movie made angry so many people. I loooooved it! I loved everything: the story, the pace of the story, the acting, the music and of course the directing. Welll done, crew!
Don't waste your time on watchings this failed wannabe art film. A complete waste of two hours of my life
No purpose. Move along. There is no way this rating adds up. All the other ratings are 1s and 2s as they should be.
Not since Mother! has a director dared to be so inventive. But the risky choice to have the cast remove practically all emotion from their performance sucks the life out of the work. It is so disgustingly vulgar I would have walked out had I seen it in theaters. The choice of style also demands that the characters behave irrationally. Which some will likely have a problem with. But at the heart of the films issue is a total lack of empathy. A person can't be expected to feel for a character who has no emotion. The story takes place in a land of soulless robots and is void of substance. However, I would like to see more from this director. If he hones his craft and corrects his mistakes his future works could very well be masterpieces.
