This is a bizarre movie. It is also very successful in delivering a powerful message. It expertly shows disturbing flashes of misandry, misogyny, violence, hopelessness, hope, mystery, horror, curiosity, control. It puts the viewer into the skin of the character, feeling her transformations and the consequences. It doesn't explain much, allowing the viewer to be the detective and powerless participant. Much like Jesus, the main character experiences the best and the worst of humanity and that is hard to watch and not often seen in movies. It's probably the movie that will define Scarlett Johanssen's legacy as an actress.
