They could have made an entertaining movie but they made an art movie instead! If you like symbolism and pretentious art puzzle movies a la David Lynch, then this is the movie for you! I for one, don't really like these kinda movies. I'm sureThey could have made an entertaining movie but they made an art movie instead! If you like symbolism and pretentious art puzzle movies a la David Lynch, then this is the movie for you! I for one, don't really like these kinda movies. I'm sure the turtle, the wolf costume, the tapes all have a very deep meaning and are connected to the grieving process but I just can't be bothered to untangle all that. I've just seen too many movies with mental conditions bleeding into reality by now. Strangely enough, I've heard that you can even do both - combine a captivating story with powerful images that depict the inner state of the characters! This movie just goes for the latter. So, since it is just a one-woman-show, I guess you're supposed to say it was a powerful performance or something but to me it was just another pretty chick cast as a lead role as usual.
What's decent about the movie are the CGI effects, the music and I guess it succeeds in what it wants to do which is transport a certain atmosphere of despair, disenfranchisement, and other typical artsy blah blah.
To sum things up, if you're a movie critic you'll probably like the movie, if not you probably can skip the movie. See user vs. critic score!… Expand

Quasi experimental and pretty interesting, but too much all over the place to be considered something more special than it is.

In the same vein as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Definitely an art house experiment on how to portray sadness and grief. There are a lot of interpretations left to the viewer, and that’s what makes it a great Indie. Worth a view,In the same vein as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
