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.
