    Oscar-worthy performances. Beautifully directed (the dilapidated backstage metaphorically speaks to the inner fragility of the actors - everything is more beautiful in the limelight). Fabulous thought-provoking script with many memorable lines of dialogue. Plot takes a little while to kick in(too much time spent on delivering exposition). It's a sad story that's ultimately about mental illness, so it won't appeal to everyone. You have to be in the right mood for this one.

    You will love or hate this movie apparently. We hated it. Like others said, we too found it incomprehensible. And like one reviewer said they cried at the end. Me too - over my wasted money.

    We enjoyed this more than Mockingjay, too; Keaton gives an Oscar caliber performance!

    unexpected surprise for me. movie has a surreal realism with impossible illusion of consolidating a continuous flow of a massive single almost seamless take of blending multiple time frames ... phantom vampire camera views with no camera nor operator reflections in mirrors even if looking head on into them, with panning shots that span different times of the day ... keeps one attention as to what perspective one will see for every scene, and what scenes are delusions vs what scenes are reality: the whole movie looks as though one lens, one focal length, one camera, one invisible operator, and endless uncut footage throughout. and an interesting story to keep it going... with a ending that br

    This movie is a piece of crap! I watched it for about 15 minutes and got a big headache from it. It all seemed incomprehensible, so went to the cash and got my money back. Don't waste your money on it.
