Comments: I liked this a lot on the surface. A couple good characters and very good performances from the leads
But I had suspension of disbelief problems, mostly minor throughout (like cleaning her blood soaked body and clothes with a couple Handi-Wipes) ... but then the ending ... Spoiler Alert: For those who took it at face value that Maren ate , or was going to eat , Lee bones and all (like the Wikipedia page says LOL) this will sound absurd. I thought she must have performed successful surgery on him with her teeth so they could spend a couple days cleaning the place up before going to sit naked in a field ... ... instead, I'm supposed to believe that she could dispose of Sully's body (eat it like a crocodile does?) and clean the place up before a guy who's in shock with an open chest wound where Maren could "see" the air rushing out of his lungs would die? Directors have to earn our suspension of disbelief --like Bong Joon-ho, for example, does in Parasite-- move the film into a land of freedom to do whatever the fuck you want. It takes mad skill to achieve that. I don't think Guadagnino gets even close. He's all: look at the shiny objects, pay no attention to detail Or maybe I super missed it and am anal itchy. I liked it either way. No big Summary: Maren, a young woman, learns how to survive on the margins of society. |
