I'm left with far too many questions and only one or two answers after watching this. You don't really find out what it's about until a couple minutes from the end - and even then there are so many blanks to fill in. It really plods along too - I found myself reaching for the fast forward button from time to time as I was getting frustrated with this film. For me, it's nearly a complete failure. What about you, Margaret?

I was not expecting to be moved by this movie. I decided to watch it because it had an interesting concept, but I wasn't convinced that it would captivate me as much as it ultimately did. Having said that though, I find it an impossible movie to suggest to other people. I can see how people would absolutely hate this, and why people would find this movie infinitely fascinating as I did. Scarlett Johansson is brilliant, and as her character evolves and desires to change, you can feel every awkward step she takes.

I have watched MANY movies and this one just left me with an odd feeling of loss. It was the loss of the hour and a half I waisted while waiting for it to get somewhere. I get the idea of pushing the envelope with artistic exploration etc. But sometimes it's just dumb. An Absolute waste of time.
