Fails on the basics; excels at the concepts

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2018)

It is a pretty simple movie on the surface level. The ideas within are fun and interesting though some of the more basic logic is tossed aside for what is sort of a philosophical discussion in horror movie form. Like most people have said, the visuals are pretty, and serve the ideas very well.
This is also one of the best performances I've seen from Portman. I'm not usually a fan of hers but she fits well within this film.
It's also not over the top preachy and at least in the beginning doesn't spoon-feed you, though it gets a bit annoying and repetitive towards the end.
The ending scene is a little confusing until you remember the idea they've been trying to drive home for the last 20 minutes.
Overall, very enjoyable though does require a bit of thought to interpret the ending. It's an intellectual watch but is still fun and has enough plot to keep you interested.
