Another Reason Not to Watch This Film

Rating: 2/10 (23 July 2018)

I join in those reviews critical of the film's fatal plot holes and general pretentiousness. The film's dedication to its tortured, existentialist mood leads to its most comical manifestation: the worst sex scene of all time.
I've never had an extramarital affair, but I would assume at least some bit of passion would motivate my betrayal. As we watch Portman adorn Isaac's head w/ the horns of the cuckhold, she appears no more engaged than if she was listening to an econ lecture. Her also-cheatin' paramour expressed even less pleasure in the act, if possible, and bore the hallmarks of being in a "waking" coma or being otherwise stunned and immobile. It is so ridiculous I began to suspect the director was trolling us.

The plot is wholly derivative and worn, the visuals nice but nothing special. Ludicrous sex scene. Stock ending. fin.
I imagine a combo of a psychological need to "get" "deep" movies and affinity for the director's earlier work and burgeoning reputation explains much of the movie's glowing reviews. Skip it if you haven't seen it yet.
