[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was definitely not for everybody; simple minds or just people who don’t have a lot of emotional stamina won’t understand or like.
For me, what hit home were the words of the old madame about how you get to know and own the world once you get to know not just the pretty side but also the dark and the ugly.
This is what this movie is about for me - how easily light becomes darkness and love becomes cruelty and beauty becomes ugliness and how fascinating it makes the world look. [/quote]

Whereas I felt those themes were fairly obvious.

I just didn't like Emma Stone's portrayal. It was very mannered and I felt like I was constantly being hit over the head with it -- "her body is mature but her brain is not, see? SEE?!?!?!?!" Yes, I see. It raises some interesting issues. But I think there are more interesting and nuanced way to explore those issues.

The movie felt kind of simple to me, and it's trying to trick you into thinking it's deep by being very weird and having some avant garden visuals. [/quote]

^This! Was not deep at all.[/quote]
