Surprisingly Wonderful

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2017)

This movie got pretty crappy reviews. I mean I only watched because my friend forced me to watch it with her because she loved it. But, I surprisingly loved it too.
I found the story line hauntingly beautiful. Yes, it was out there, but I actually think the film married all the differing elements extremely well. I was completely immersed in the story from start to finish and felt deeply about the characters. I thought the action was great, the CGI wasn't incredible but whatever.
I think this film gets a bad wrap because it is overwhelming in nature. The fantasy action sequences which seemingly happen within our protagonist's mind are kind of random. However, i think instead it was an incredible showing of how strong she was as a character in spirit. Instead of watching her dance (presumingly sexually) on front of paying men, we watched her defeat fantastical enemies in her mind. Metaphorically I think she was defeating the inner demons of her mind.
Completely underrated film, would highly recommend. Your motto when watching this film should be "just go with it". Don't overthink it or scrutinise it. Watch it, then review it.
