This Film Is Bashed For No Reason & Left Me With A Pretty Good Experience

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2017)

I feel this film is given negative reviews for all of the wrong reasons. This film should not be judged off of sensitive people that prematurely give reviews, lacking any kind of thought following their viewing. Saying that the film misogynistic, gruesome, or that it sucks because it doesn't make any sense is just silly. Yes, there are a lot of confusing parts in this movie - a lot of things that you won't understand unless you put forth effort into discussion, research, and thought. This is obviously a highly symbolic and metaphorical film. I promise you that if you try, you will find meaning to the contents of this film. If you don't like what you find after that, only then will your review be valid in my eyes. The only "fact" you can go off of as to what the meaning of the film is and how that is portrayed is by what the director says - and quite honestly, that's also subjective. If you don't like movies that challenge you to think and in some cases come up with the meaning for things on your own, then this movie is not for you. Yes, this film can be frustrating to watch sometimes but the overall theme and general meaning behind it supports that beautifully if you actually think about it. For me, the movie was fairly enjoyable to watch. Some parts did irritate me because it simply got unrealistic and redundant. Also, the pacing of the film was a problem for me. All in all the full came full circle quite nicely and I walked away with something interesting to think about. After some thought, the overall experience of the movie (during and after) was pretty good. That's what a movie is, right? An experience.
