There were some dark comedy moments to start things off, but the story was focused too much on social commentary as opposed to being an exciting feature. It was painfully boring and all we saw were two unstable people entering into an ill advised relationship.
It tried to explore the whole "men are sinister" while "women are naive and powerless" diegesis. We are only limited on this woman's perception of this man and can't be certain if it reflects reality. And of course he's 13 years older than she is, so there's a power struggle in play. Who are we to support in this toxic relationship? I felt both of them were flawed and deceptive. She seemed infatuated with the idea of who this man was, and was eventually disappointed when he couldn't satisfy her sexual needs. And he couldn't take the hint and became unhinged. Seems like a common obstacle for everyday humans.
So basically I was stumped the whole way through.
