Whoever wrote this movie watched a lot of Black Swan. It's very close to that movie except this was better in my opinion. It was more mature, more realistic and far more believable. I'm not sure everyone would get it or relate to it without having a similar personality type to Dall. Only other Dall's know the ending with a certainty and understand what drove her in the first place, let alone what drove her to madness. If you've ever had to excel at something you know you're not good at, this is the movie for you.
I wish the other characters in the movie had more background, but in a way the movie was as obsessive about Dall as she was about succeeding. She was a complex character that was fully fleshed out, yet fickle. I would appreciate more female roles like this in the future where you don't even notice the entire movie essentially had no male presence, and without making a thing about it.
