"You know, this place makes me wonder which would be worse - to live as a monster or to die as a good man?"

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2018)

Halfway through:
This morbid surreal thriller is indisputably well-made, but to me, it was so boring that I'm not capable of objective assessment of its quality. I'm not even sure if I'll endure to the end. I'm only a halfway through and I'm already bored to death. I had to switch from bed to chair to prevent myself from falling asleep...
At the end:
I do not think this has happened to me so far. I barely made myself watch it to the end, yet I still have the urge to give it the maximum rating. Excellent cast, great camera, directing, sound, atmosphere, but although I liked all those aspects individually, the overall impression was not that good. I love midf**k movies, perhaps it's my favorite genre, but this one was too Lynch-like for my taste. In the second half, however, it gets better and starts to keep me focused, and the outcome and especially the last scene are really powerful. I have to admit that this is one of the best movies I saw so far, but at the same time I did not enjoy it accordingly and I would not watch it again.
8,5/10
