Ratings and reviews

I found this film very interesting. It tells the story of two women captivated with each other for very different reasons. I think I'd like to watch it again to grasp more of what it's trying to say. Some will find it too arty but for me it was entertaining. It did feel a little disjointed however perhaps this was intentional, as their relationship was of this nature. The dialogue was sometimes difficult to hear so I put the subtitles on.
