Visually very interesting, requires patience and some knowledge of Christianity as it is very symbolic, at least in my interpretation. There is a 7 minute scene of the main character just laying down that I loved, I can imagine many people being bored with this but I love a film that uses time in a thoughtful manner even if it’s about making you sit in a moment longer than you’d expect. The ending will have me reinterpreting the film a few times over and for that I can only praise it.

I honestly have no words she deserved so much better some of the most beautiful shots I’ve seen honestly and the fav that it forces you to be a witness of the whole thing makes it more tragic her just having nowhere to go with the trauma that she experienced really breaks me I don’t know there’s so many things to talk about in this movie on which I can’t find words for

Striking, visually, but too confusing plot-wise for me to really get into.

A veces nos parece que por salir de la forma "clásica" de rodar nos va a hacer destacar, puede que si, pero no siempre de forma positiva, muchas veces en la sencillez es donde reside la belleza.
Todo el film rodado de esta forma "excéntrica" con solo planos frontales eternos, que no té dejan en ningún momento adentrarte en los sentimientos de la protagonista, me ha causado mucho rechazo. Ha sido un duro trabajo de autocontrol no mirar el móvil o directamente abandonar el film.

There's two distinct categories when it comes to artsy fartsy movies:
There's the first: engaging and interesting; each moment feels important and engrossing as the ideas convey themselves through the holy medium of cinema.
Then there's the second: an absolute slog fest where each minute turns into torture as you beg for the cut to black to realise you.
This fell into the second category.
