Disturbing yet enthralling
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
