"Well I finally watched this. It is weird and gave me Brave New World, one of my favorite books, feelings. It's cruelty towards and strict rules with sexual acts remind me of the Alphas and the Betas in Brave New World. This has a very dry, dark sense of humor, so I immediately understood. "

"A strange dry movie that I completely understand someone not enjoying but I really loved it. I saw this with my brother who I think was the perfect person to watch it with because we both really love and appreciate dry/awkward humor which this movie does really well! I like what it says about the almost compulsive need to be in a relationship and how you’ll completely change yourself just to get to that point but really end up isolating yourself even further. A what I think an underestimated film."
"One of my all time favorites!! An off-beat dystopian allegory on love and loneliness and how it interacts and is in turn affected by social structures/conventions or expectation. Darkly comedic moments mixed with almost operatic slo-mo or zooms with very dramatic violin chello scores accompanying them nicely. One of those films you could talk about for hours and rewatch without diminished gratisfaction "
