BS

Rating: 3/10 (27 March 2018)

I liked Wrestler by the same director but this movie is really shit. The symbolism is a good idea but ruined by not keeping it symbolic. The movie shifts between normal behaviour dialogue to the symbolic. It is just idiotic not to keep it consistent. I understand the symbolism as does any other viewer (ie God, Mother Nature, Adam, Eve, etc.) and that is a great idea but it is totally ruined firstly by not making it into a horror movie and secondly by not keeping to the symbolism. They put in the usual Hollywood bullshit of trying to be normal while it could have been a good movie if they had just kept to the symbolism about reality. As this movie stands it is absolute crap and really an insult to pessimism since it tries to market itself as attractive to pessimism.
