This movie felt like the substance and Black Swan mixed together. I thought this was really interesting and had an important meaning but personally think it should have ended when we thought she died, I also love the use of classical music

Helter Skelter was a wild ride, to say the least. I haven't read the manga, so I can't comment on whether it's faithful to the source material, but I really liked the plot and cinematography. I will say, though, that I felt the film dragged quite a bit; a lot of the more explicit scenes weren't really necessary, in my opinion, and it took a while after the film started for the first problems to arise for Liliko. I also wasn't a fan of any of the characters, though I could sympathise with some of their plights, especially that of Liliko. The acting was brilliant all-round, with the standout performances for me coming from Erika Sawajiri and Shinobu Terajima, and the outfits and sets were gorgeous. On the whole, I do think the film could've leaned more into body horror (The Substance comes to mind as an example), but I still liked Helter Skelter, and I would revisit it in the future.

This movie has such a powerful and good message.
Imma admit the film does get pretty boring and slow in the middle but the end makes up for everything

Amazing film about how the industry can destroy you. I love a film about a girl who goes crazy, + I live for the 2000s Japanese aesthetic.
