Beautiful, intriguing, terrifying and weird!

Rating: 7/10 (18 March 2018)

This is a movie that I thought I would really like, or maybe even love, after seeing the trailer. Having watched it I do like it a lot, but I also found it to be so much more weird than I could have imagined it to be. It was beautiful, intriguing, exciting and with great acting. But it was, especially towards the end, so very weird. I wanted to understand what was going on and get all the answers, but as it just got weirder I lost some of the interest for a while, just to at the very end get some of it back again. You might say it was almost like being on a rollercoaster of weirdness, with a lot of that weirdness being of the good and beautiful kind. It's like being thrown into this mysterious and beautiful, yet dangerous and terrifying, world wanting to know and understand all about it but not really getting there. I would say that the end made up for some of that, at the same time as it blew your mind to pieces. A part of me still isn't exactly sure of what to think, but still can't help but to like it.
The movie being based on a novel I looked it up, wondering if perhaps I wanted to read it, and found that it is the first novel of a trilogy. So now I'm thinking about maybe giving the novels a go at some point. Because even if this whole experience was on the verge of being just a little too weird, I still want more of it. Hopefully the second and the third novel in this trilogy will get movie adaptions as well.
