Not a lot of story but very atmospheric. Some of the cinematography was beautifui and it all created a kind of ASMR effect for me. More of a story or pronounced character development might have ruined that so...if you want something dark and brooding to relax to, this might be your cup of Kava tea.
There are a lot of concepts in this movie that are unexplained. For example, in the first scene, who is that person whose bloody hands are gripped onto a metal box? Who is that man? I wish that aspect was more well-explained. The relationship between the protagonist and the other female wasn't in depth enough (as well as her relationship w/ her ex-boyfriend Derek), in order to feel a strong sense of emotion during the climax at the end or to explain the pain she may have experienced at the end of the film. I did enjoy the music though. Also, the film had an eerie sense about it.
Just kind of disappointing. Has a lot of build up and no real payoff, I understand that they were probably intentionally leaving things unexplained, but it didn’t really work for this film. Ends very abruptly too. Catchy songs at least
definitely interesting characters. and I appreciated the bisexual representation, however the plot was nonexistent and ended rather abruptly in my opinion. it had a lot more potential but didn’t go anywhere
boring
