I like it a lot. Theron is magnificent. The best actress of her generation? Its such a powerful force i cant even think about a frame without her.
About the ending though...

Spoiler: show

Im kinda bummed with the route they gave us..the whole yeah, tully is me as a young girl...i think it was even more powerful if she was real. Its still a very good view on maternity and women...But having her being real would have been more powerful

I don't disagree. I see what you mean. But I thought it was powerful.

It was really powerful, so well written, so honest and at the same time, it made you think a lot.
Theron was incredible really.

I'm glad you agree. She destroyed me. Such a wonderful performance.

It was pretty good. The '50s theme/set design was kinda overkill and made me wanna play BioShock. Hated the ending.

Michael Shannon is always fun and he has a giant Rachel Ray-like head.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Magnificent. Stunning imagery, music, performances, pacing. Both extremely
measured and extremely tense. As for the story, it's basically "fussy, talented man picks his poison." But don't we all sort of do that when we sign up for a monogomous relationship?

One thing i've been increasingly aware of (after reading an interview with Bill Hader re: Barry) is: If i had the sound off, would i still be able to understand the relationships and emotions between characters? For nearly every scene in this film, the answer was yes.

Probably the best Polish musical about homicidal mermaids involved in a love triangle I've ever seen.
