As I'm watching I thinking satire, subtle allusions, parody, social commentary, absurdism, surrealism. But then I think something/one has created a sort of Handmaiden's sameness community/reality as a counter to the human competitive tendency that the grass is greener, etc., i.e. not satisfied w/one's situation, thinking that others might be better off,
In this community everyone seems pleasantly cordially complaint/identical to an extreme. From subdued pastel pink & blue colors to toothy smiley pleasantries to plastic artificial sameness to spouse and progeny sharing to identical golf cart vehicles.
Then I started thinking that underlying this strangeness was an evil or alien presence. Such as, saliva exchanging kisses; eating off the floor; eerie music; children's non-compliant behavior; child turns into a dog?; soccer pitch w/grave markers.
Conclusion: I'm not sure if there is a meaningful statement in this movie, but kudos to DeBoer & Luebbe for producing; a little directing; acting this bizarre 100+ minutes.
