Watched this movie with English subtitles (English is not my primary language, please ignore any mistakes in my writing) Minor Spoilers
If you are looking for a thriller, suspense, mystery, or want to have a feeling of watching a well-plotted decent film, avoid this. After watching this I was left with a sour taste and a satisfying feeling of watching a decent film. For any movie to be interesting to a viewer, most important is an interesting story and believable screenplay. Even if cinematic liberties are taken, they should be plausible, not when common sense says that is ridiculous.
In the beginning, it seems like a satire of celebrity culture, but finally, I could not find any point the director is showcasing. All the actors are decent and performed their roles with sufficient skill. The film is very crisp with no filler scenes. The camera, artwork and background score are good considering almost the entire film happens in a closed small space.
Anna Fritz is shown as one of the most popular figures in the place. Also, with a huge fan following and success. That means she is young, rich, influential, and beautiful. Following are the few scenes or story points that I find very hard to believe and far-fetched.
1. Mortuary is usually kept at -10°C to 4°C. In this none of the characters feel cold, even Anna Fritz who is completely naked but never feels cold. We don't see any vapors/condensation when people speak.
2. The hospital seems to be seedy or in rundown condition, surprisingly with no security personnel anywhere or even cameras as they are usually present in almost all hospitals. The dead body is easily taken from the morgue and dumped in a nearby road and no one notices.
3. When a hugely popular person dies suddenly without any known illness, police will suspect unnatural death till it is proven otherwise after investigation. When the postmortem is scheduled for the next day, police will keep the body securely in their control under a guard so that no one can tamper with the body and destroy any evidence. Even if the body is kept at a public hospital, they will have some personnel posted there to guard the body. This is not the case in this film.
4. When a person dies, death is confirmed by taking ECG and observing flat lines or any similar measures by doctors. They will not confirm death unless they are sure, especially when it is a celebrity. Here how she comes back to life is not explained, a miracle? Black magic or what there is no explanation about it.
5. Few minor issues like, for such a popular and loved person, not even a single family member or friend is present in the hospital. As she is rich and famous, why they will choose a rundown hospital and not a good one? Any healthy person, if spent naked in near-freezing temperatures of the morgue, will suffer and strength drops but here Anna Fritz is like superman and survives serious beatings and still have enough strength to crawl and attack.
