Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

joshyates1980 This film had some of the best cinematography since I watched Stalker. The story was simple and excellent. The girl was just trying to do the best she could since that was all she knew (I generalized for individuals who had not seen the film). Overall, great movie and I would like to make posters out of scenes from this movie.

Michael Ledo Francesca (Olivia Bond/ Kika Magalhaes) is raised on a secluded farm. Her mother (Diana Agostini) was an eye surgeon from Portugal and practices her craft on cows with her daughter apprentice. Mom explains there is an eye disease which cause psychosis. Francesca becomes psychotic, but shows no other symptoms that would pinpoint a specific disease.The production is in black and white and divided into three sections like a play (Mother, Father, Family). This makes it look like Gothic art and critics will swoon all over it, in spite of the films short comings. The plot had holes in it. Certainly Francesca had more contact with the outside world than what we saw. Who paid the light bill? How did she learn to drive? Can a person really survive 11 years chained to a concrete floor in their underwear? Wouldn't they freeze in winter? No, the focus was on Francesca, who we really didn't know as a person, other than she was mentally ill. We pitied her. It was a sad film, but not a tear jerker.Guide: No swearing. Implied sex. Nudity (Kika Magalhes)

rachelbilliet I made an account on IMDb for the sole purpose of reviewing this film because I have a lot of feelings. My favorite genre when it comes to movies is horror, and unless something is terribly jumpy I normally don't scare easily. This movie, however is an entirely different story. My friend chose this movie completely at random on Netflix one night, and within, I think 11 minutes, I told him "what the f*** turn this off I absolutely cannot watch anymore of this." Fast-forward two months later and he talks me into finishing it, and this movie is truly disturbing in a way that you can't quite describe. I felt sick watching this. That being said, I can recognize it for what it is, and that is an incredibly well executed horror film. Would I recommend anyone watch it? Hell no. Well, maybe.

lekoalaura As far as "conventional" horror goes, this couldn't be more different. It's worlds apart in regards to what we tend to label as horror — no jump scares, no boogeyman to run from, and a distinct lack of gratuitous gore has allowed this film to standout as a genuine psychological terror. It's slow in the progression of plot, but the time it takes works as a boon in the long run. In creating a space of total isolation and loneliness, we're allowed to witness the full transformation of a traumatized (and, admittedly, thoroughly maladjusted) child into a young woman that doesn't have a grasp on the reality that exists outside her bubble of delusion. The meticulous nature of this slow burn story is an honest reminder that this is horror at its most human: this could easily be a reality for any of us.
