What starts off as a bizarro arthouse film gradually transpires into a film that feels almost too visceral.
There are some absolutely breathtaking and strikingly beautiful shots in this movie. Witnessing this work of art felt like I was watching something I shouldn't be experiencing, as I felt disturbed but also entertained simultaneously in so many of the scenes.
A stunning cast brought stellar performances that really elevated the stakes for all characters involved. Intense moments were brought to life through the palpable tension that Cronenberg was able to incorporate. Every word, action, and movement felt very intentional as well as masterful.
The first half of this film felt extremely slow. While the pacing doesn't really seem to even pick up halfway through, it definitely became more intriguing from then on out, and I couldn't pull my attention away. My only other main issues are that this film could've incorporated more horror to feel like a true horror film, and the ending was a little too abrupt. That, and I didn't like the dark message that the film left us with, but then again I could just be looking too far into it or maybe I'm just being too sensitive.
