This film does seem confusing to viewers, and as far as I know the director has not come out to come down to earth regarding the story. If we the viewers spend 90 minutes of our life watching it, the director should at least comment publicly for us so we will not have wasted our time. Towards the end of the film I pieced together a very beautiful yet serious and thoughtful and unforgettable story, a story in which I know who the three women were and what they represented and why they did what they did. I give the film with that story 10 stars. However, that may not be the same story that the director had in mind. In such case, I give the film 1 star for having a clumsy director. Since I don't know, I will go mid-range and give it 5 stars on imdb. Really, the story that appeared in my mind is beautiful and unforgettable. Maybe I should have been the director.

No pun intended - because it is also the depiction of ... well I reckon you can call it Ecstasy. Or a highlight - a moment of absolute satisfaction? That may be way too much to be honest. One thing you should know: there is a lot of nudity and a lot of graphic scenes (as in explicit). Just be aware of that, if you have issues with those things. Especially because the actors do look directly at you at some points - like after or during pleasing themselves.

That being said, the movie itself stays bleak for most of the time. At least when it comes (sorry for the pun) to the mood - and I reckon also the photography. Which looks stunning by the way. Apparently the DP is usually a photo camera man and not a film camera man. Maybe some will see that as a bad thing - but I liked what he shot - be open minded. Which is true for the whole movie experience. Depending on how much you've seen media wise, how easy you can be shocked ... well this will all play into your experience. Also if you get some nods to other movies.

Slow paced and some other things that might connect with most viewers - but the filmmaker is consistent. And I reckon we will see more of him ... I wouldn't mind.

What was this movie even about? Throughout the entire movie I had no idea what was going on. Every scene had me questioning whether the protagonist was hallucinating or having a flashback since it didn't quite mesh with the narration going on. And most of the time that could have been devoted to developing plot was just the guy driving around in his car.

Ecstasy is far from how I would describe this movie. It was slow, confusing, lacked any real intimacy, and ended with a big WTF moment that just makes you feel gross. I hope I burn this film out of my memory.
