A phoenix in its own right

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2019)

I see alot of reviews rating low because of 'loose ends', 'unanswered questions', 'what's up with the entities??' etc.
It must be the same people that rates Lost low (you know the old TV-show that had 1000 unanswered questions, a very underwhelming ending, and basically epitomized J.J. Abram's mysterybox for good and bad). The same people who passively want the creator's vision/message to be punched in their face leaving no doubt what it's about.
I'm not saying this is any masterpiece, but I was left with a feeling of a world was created. A world I wanted to know more about and explore. That aversive irritation/craving of wanting to close the knowledge gaps does not exist if you're unengaged with a movie, it's usually intensified when you feel engaged with the characters, story and world. You care. And I cared when I watched this, sure I also want to know more, but that irritation must be because there was a right balance of curiosity - alot was given but alot was also left for imagination. If all my questions was answered I would have forgotten the movie by now like another binge-consumption.
Mystery and curiosity exist here and I feel like they could make a whole tvshow. I really want to know more about these entities - who are they, what's their goal and why, and how would you fight them or live in a conditional space like this.
So yes a movie who is able to balance all these things deserve some credit. I know Bier also had some parenting messages she wanted to convey, but when I look at the movie as an "abstract" apocalyptic horror genre, she did a really good job. Answering some questions and leave others out for imagination.
A phoenix in its own right.
Thanks Bier.
