The themes (self hatred, deppression, I admit the movie is great at making you feel bad, deppressed (and oppressed) with imagery and visuals, incredible acting from both leads, and graphic and painful scenes. So that's great.īut what Im not so sure is: What's the point of all this? I admit the movie is great at making you feel bad, deppressed (and oppressed) with imagery and visuals, incredible acting from both leads, and graphic and painful scenes. If intellect is your thing, this is for you. If you're looking for a film for sexual or violent gratification don't bother with this. The acting is incredible from both characters. Although graphic in it's adult content, it's not really a film for entertainment, it's deeply thought provoking, shocking and artistic in the most absurd way. I defy anyone not to be moved by the opening images, however, I also think you need to understand depression, anxiety and panic attacks, even have personal experience, to fully appreciate what this film is all about. The first few scenes, in extra slow motion, are incredibly powerful. Yes, there are gruesome images and scenes of a sexual nature but in my opinion it is all within the context of the story. I defy I'm not a film person and generally can't sit through them but this one is the exception. I'm not a film person and generally can't sit through them but this one is the exception.
