This is not a movie. Unless your idea of a movie is one man, dancing, for over an hour... The fact that this has the rating that it currently has (over 4), I put down to friends of anyone involved in making this submitting their own ratings in order to improve its score. There's really not much more to say. There's no dialogue to review, no special effects, only one actor, and no storyline. In fact this review that I'm writing is more interesting. It really annoys me when "movies" like this get any sort of score at all as it is a complete waste of time. That is all I have to say. Don't waste your time.

My mistake was going into this thinking I was watching a movie when what this really is, is a ballet performance.

If that's your thing you'll probably love this, I don't know much about ballet but it seemed pretty well choreographed, and fit the mood and movement of the music well, which I will say I did really enjoy.

It's objectively pretty good, but I'm not into ballet and the story is irrelevant / non-existent so this completely missed the mark for me.

I wouldn't watch it again, and I definitely wouldn't recommend to people who wouldn't choose to see a ballet performance otherwise, as that is literally all this movie is!

So, I may well not be the target "market" for this. I'm 5th-gen "white trash" (it's my word and I'm using it)... but, I'm literate and I like film.

Watching this at 4am on the tail end of a very tedious breakup and and nice long bipolar binge... I found this incredibly engrossing, "a visual feast". Maybe easiest to consume this as if it were a long-form music video - I found it gripping from the start and the lead dancer able to convey so much through body movement and his facial expressions.

The soundtrack is generally quite good, sub-industrial percussion + strings. If anything, this is the area that for me it was perhaps not as strong as it should have been. For an "art installation?"/piece I would have liked it musically much more challenging, perhaps GodspeedYBE+John Zorn or current darling Colin Stetson might have been better suited - when the music is "harsh" it's just not harsh enough and that seems a disservice to an otherwise 10/10 piece.

Set design and costumes are perfect and very much help to evoke what I think is trying to be conveyed here.

8/10 - could have been 10/10 with a more thoughtful soundtrack.
