A psychological, existential voyage

Rating: 9/10 (26 March 2018)

I started watching this movie not knowing what to expect and I think I have benefitted from that.
I was loosely invested after the first 20 or so minutes, perhaps trying to fit the movie neatly into a genre. What happened after that was gradual, but I just became quite overcome with the beauty and horror of it all.
It didn't matter to me that this movie wasn't really sic-fi, or drama or horror. It was a sort of fractal (or refraction) of human experiences and somehow became something beautiful in the process.
The final sequences are just breathtaking from an artistic perspective and the movie has lingered with me, perhaps because it is just so different from anything else I have ever seen.
I don't think it's fair to say that the movie was slow. I found it gripping from start to end. An experience like no other.
I can definitely see how this would divide opinion. But in the end, that's what art does.
