Shocking
I always wonder what is the goal of a movie and when I watch a movie I ask myself if I will get a nice punchline or lesson out of it ... this movie is nothing like that... this movie is pure emotion. Shocking, frustrating, empathetic, funny, sad... whatever it is; I enjoyed every bit of it and would recommend it 100%. Bonus: The actors were superb 👌
This movie could be considered somewhat abstract. I found hard to find a cohesive theme throughout. I doubt that was hardly the point. I think the movie has other goals in mind; like exposing mental deseases in and very candid and personal way. It could make you feel very shocked at times.
Finally; this movie has some dystopian vibes as well. I'm sure that in a society where such aberrations are allowed to happen must have gone through some severe social changes. Watch it with an open mind.
