*this review may contain spoilers* I had high hopes for this movie, I tend to enjoy a good revenge tale. But this was almost unwatchable. Firstly, the main character was incredibly unlikable and very difficult to care about. She shows absolutely no emotion apart from the occasional tear we see roll down her cheek. She's stoic and barely speaks throughout the entire film.
Then there's the issue with the plot making absolutely no sense! Everything that happens is completely illogical. So many things go unexplained.
Why oh why are there so many slow motion sequences? There are a few cool and interesting uses of cinematography but I don't understand why there are so many parts where they just randomly shoot the lead character in slow motion. I think they intended for this to be cool, edgy and artsy but it just makes it seem tedious.
*spoilers ahead*
This movie had me scratching my head in confusion at so many points.
Why did she and the rest of the cult kill innocent people? Is it some sort or crime for a man to flirt? Does a man flirting with a woman in a bar mean he should be castrated?
Why did the random guy follow her to her apartment without any invitation?
Why were there so many lesbian make out scenes while they were covered in blood?
Why did she kill her lover in the end?
What was the deal with the scene at the end with the therapist torturing her?
Am I the only one that wishes they'd explained this cult she got involved in a little more???
Are we supposed to enjoy watching a mousy, stoic girl lose her mind and become a monster?
Bottom line. This movie is pretentious and confusing; ultimately very unsatisfying and poorly done. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Well, unless they enjoy watching men being castrated in vivid detail for no good reason.
