Amazing but could've been so much better

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2018)

Look, I can totally understand why some people despised this movie. I don't want to play the "you just didn't understood it" card as the movie could've done a lot better at expressing its idea.
To put it simply, to me, this movie reflected an idea that I first came across in norse mythology. Life is a cycle. Something old needs to die in order for something new to arise. Is this "new" something good or bad? It does not matter as it is up to us to decide on that.
The tattoo is one of a Jörmungandr or of a Ouroboros which perfectly reflects this idea. It's a circle that ends but by ending itself, it is also starting something new.
There are times in which we cannot become new selves unless we kill a part of us. As seen in the movie, some of the characters are not able to do this or don't even want to as they identify themselves with their misery. Even Lena says that the only reason she returned is because she wanted to.
It's a simple idea but I do agree that the movie could've done better at exposing it.
