Gregory N @GregoryMN May 11 You other viewers must have no depth or be dimwitted or asleep. This movie was a full-blown work of art! It's something that could have been made by Bergman, Kubrick, or Jane Campion. So many layers to it, so rich in symbolism. You blind critics missed a truly great movie! Ibsen: "When we dead awaken, what shall we find? We shall find that we have never lived."

Wasn't terrible but you just float along through a series of events without understanding much of any of them. See more Sara P @missmyers Dec 17 It's okay. It's only worth to watch once See more Alain E @AlainE 05/13/2025 Very good and utterly pessimistic. A young university student has several jobs including waitressing and shop girl. Then she finds herself getting occasional gigs with a company that supplies young female bodies in various states of nakedness, as decoration during different social functions of affluent people. The final stage of her process is she gets anesthesized in the nude and sleeps in a bed while an older man can do with her body anything he wants except penetrative sex. One of her “clients “ chooses to commit suicide lying in the bed next to her. He is not the first character in the movie to choose this exit. As I said, strong positive vibes. There is depiction of nudity throughout the story, but I would not call it titillating. If someone gets sexually excited watching this movie, that person needs psychiatric evaluation.

See more Susan W @Skooshie 03/15/2025 I watched this movie several times because it haunted me. It doesn't hand you the message, and you probably won't get it if you haven't realized at some point that you have been surpressing trauma and grief and moving like a sleep walker through your life, numbing yourself with careless choices. The main character seems to have no support, friends, family except for one person, who is the only person she shows attachment to, and is more broken than she is. She remains detached because she's practiced it, long before we see this part of her story, to protect herself from feeling the pain. See more Read all reviews
