So many emotions i'm feeling after watching.
The movie has a lot of questionable elements. It’s very dark, heavy, and sexual, with many scenes that honestly felt excessive or unnecessary. It reminded me a lot of The Handmaiden in terms of the sexual content, which often felt over the top. Unfortunately, the film also gave off a strong sense of being made for the male gaze, which was frustrating because the story itself had so much potential. It felt like such a good plot was partially wasted because of that choice.That being said, the film is still stunning in many ways. The cinematography is beautiful, the atmosphere is intense, and the performances are excellent. The ending especially left a strong impression, tying everything together in a way that felt both emotional and powerful. Personally, I’d give it a 7.5/10. I think it deserves more credit than it gets, but I can also understand why some people don’t like it. It’s one of those films that really splits opinions you’ll either connect with it or find it off-putting. That’s why I’d say don’t rely too much on the ratings; it’s a movie you need to experience yourself to know whether it’s a hit or a miss for you.
