Two words to summarize this movie would be

Two words to summarize this movie would be 'grotesque' and 'humanism'. I felt exhausted while watching this, and that feeling comes from the suspense made by its contradictory form; La La Land-ish rosy elements, like fairy tale sky, and the story about extreme despair of a woman. It is absolutely disturbing but powerful piece. Very unique and amazing work.

This movie is overindulgent with its style, but

This movie is overindulgent with its style, but extremely light on substance. It hopes the viewer gets enthralled by the thick layers of melodrama, but all the characters are flat and the plot is never thought provoking. The visuals are quite interesting and eye-catching at first, but they start outstaying their welcome pretty soon. The movie does offer one of the most cynical views of society I've ever seen in a piece of fiction. No one can be trusted; no one is willing to help a stranger in need. Even kids can be brutal killers in disguise. The only salvation possible for someone down on their luck is hoping for the sweet release of death. All in all a pretty miserable watching experience.
