I kind of liked the grim but artistic cinematography - relentlessly depressing but beautiful. The actors do a nice job portraying anguish but their dialogue is unrealistic and inconsistent. The plot is absurd. I guessed the primary "twist" early on and the final twist makes no sense at all - the shadowy government behind the machinations central to the plot has an incredibly dumb approach to solving humanity's crises. It's sad to see Saoirse Ronan's talent wasted in such an undercooked mess of a movie. Watch this film if darkness, anxiety, weeping and out-of-place, underlit sex scenes are your thing.
