Well it was just weird. But I really loved Mark Ruffalo in the movie. He was so funny. And he really made the role very believable. The other actors and actresses were great but their roles didn't have the same kind of acting needed. Ruffalo was able to put more emotion into his role. Emma Stone did her role very well as the lovely Bella. Who was learning more and becoming a more rounded role for her. So her "frankinsteinish" role was well played. Dafoe as the mad scientist who let his creation loose into the world was well played as well! Personally I would have just watched it for Mark Ruffalo though.

Everything from the script to cinematography to music. The beautiful story told about how we are stolen from our innocence by the world of perversion. So confusing to me that anyone dislike the film or misconstrue it for being crass or over the top. The story it tells is absolutely beautiful. The fact that people don't like it on the account of it being "creepy" and "groomy" is exactly what the movie is calling out- ironic!

The unsettling music that plays throughout and the way the film coloration moves as she matures and develops her vocabulary and motor skills is subtle but very apparent in other ways.

Incredible film- what a fantastic director.

Check out another great from him Calle DogTooth.
