5/10
It's fine, I like strange!
29 July 2020
I think the ridiculously high review numbers are by people who think a movie that has almost no dialogue as profound because it says nothing, and the visuals and the contrast between the two principles make it something special. If your making a profound statement about this individual with a missing arm maybe find an individual with one arm to play that person. Considering the direction the story goes that would also seem more natural. I'm also confused by the boutique owner and his fascination with the specific mannequins arm. The pieces work but land maybe this is to on the nose, but the dream sequence, which was done very well, would have been more powerful in black and white. I understand this a nod to German cinema between the two wars if that is the sole reason it's cool but that makes the Portland part not fit. I like weird for the sake of weird but some of the detail seemed unnecessary like an extra layer of frosting on a cake. Where do you find a cross eyed cat. I enjoyed it but a 10/10 it is not.
