I am a huge Léa Seydoux fan so I may be a little biased. This is a slow burn film at 2hrs 26min. This is not a Hollywood popcorn movie. You really need to focus and pay attention for the whole movie. Loaded with symbolism throughout, it will reward you if you remain diligent in viewing it, and maybe watching it again.

For those who hated it I'd like to pose the question do you understand the actual fear of falling in love? The fear of being in love? Do you really understand these fears and anxieties? If you can't then you really won't understand the film. Can you understand living with no emotions and feelings? The scene with the woman strangling the cat is a very chilling scene.

That invisible beast of anxiety can be one of the most crippling things in life. It can hold your life for so long, it's a terrible thing. In reality it doesn't exist, because it's only in our minds. This is something the film was trying to portray.

Léa Seydoux's performance is tremendous. I really wasn't that impressed with the casting of George MacKay. Seydoux really commanded the film and thankfully so.
