Weird and enjoyable. The art direction was really interesting. Definitely worth a watch.
About as boring as it gets, coulda been a good movie if the characters would get out of bed.
My husband put it very aptly: this film is the equivalent of throwing paint at a canvas and calling it art. Some people will love it, but most will think it's just nothing. I feel like there was a lot of potential and they gave it a hard pass.
Gorgeous alone-in-the-universe feel, beautifully shot, incredible art direction, sick score. A++++
reminds me of The Wicker Man
