Impressive

Rating: 9/10 (20 July 2019)

I was never an arthouse movie fan, not a film critic/expert, I don't watch much films, I didn't even read much about it. Just heard that it had some shocking elements in it. And Jennifer Lawrence, of course :-) Didn't know what too expect, but boy, I was left speechless for quite some time. It was only after reading some IMDB user ratings I recognised certain symbolism and that made the movie even more impressive.
Being in the middle of a heavy house renovation myself, doing all the work myself, I could easily find myself in the pain of the woman who sees destroyed everything she built up with love for her man and her craft. I would go insane if it happened to me! Very well portayed by Lawrence. Seeing the man loving the attention and not being able to say no to outsiders, somehow was also recognisable for me. Nice job by Bardem. Nice contrast between the happy serenity and the chaos it ended in.
Simply wow.
