So first.. anyone who has experience with LSD knows that reactions of characters within this movie have nothing to do with reactions on LSD. In fact, they're a whole much closer to the exact opposite.
Maybe it could happen on scopolamine (deliriant) or on large doses of dissociatives (especially arylcyclohexylamines such as PCP and analogs) or as a result of some stimulant psychosis (large doses of amphetamines, cathinones, cocaine - cocaine is present in the movie, but only few people take it).
So the question arises.. what exactly is the point of Noe to make such an extreme brainwashing propaganda? He has done multiple drugs featuring films... oh wait, or is it multiple films featuring drugs (and sex, of course, he has an undeniable unhealthy obsession with both) and I assume he has at least elementary knowledge about their effects (although does he really? maybe he's just this ignorant/unintelligent). So he does it fully consciously. Why? Because he assumes the general public knows sh.t about the topic anyway?
His previous movie, Enter The Void, was better, and, if not for the last 20 minutes, it could've deserved even a 9. If only it would conclude that most of the film was a hallucination, not a Buddhist pseudo-philosophy. Since then, with "Love" and "Climax" he has only deteriorated.
The general public actually knows how people act of LSD. Crowds of hippies during large concerts in the 60s showed that. People relax, chill, get dreamy, talk, seek closeness (this is the one and only remotely close aspect compared to the reactions in this movie), concentrate on what's going on within their heads without much external activity, sometimes do dancing or singing or just perform normal day-to-day actions. Here you just have a mass psychosis/hysteria. Nonsensical. Also, who instills LSD with eye drops? It's not ibogaine, you ignorant Noe.
And, apart from the drug part, there isn't mush in the movie. Is every movie of Noe about sex, drugs and almost no plot?
