    i think this was a good film, but i will never forget or forgive the way that rape scene was shot. the concept of rape is terrifying on its own, we don't need a graphic showcase that lasts 5 minutes. male directors need to learn the subtlety of representing such sensitive topics, but i feel like they will never understand.

    impossible to rate. many things i liked, many i didn't. too much was shown and revealed too ealry, real horror in my opinion lies in the unknown. i have a suspicion that this might be the case with all of eggers' films, he is too eager to show and explain everything. defoe was brilliant, so was skarsgard, but i wished i could have seen more agency behind depp's acting. she might not have been the best choice for this film, at least not at this stage of her career.

    if you're a HUNGARIAN director, making a film set in HUNGARY, based on a book by a famous HUNGARIAN writer, about the writer herself and other real HUNGARIAN people, then maybe, just maybe, consider casting HUNGARIAN actors to play the leading roles?
    i don't care if helen mirren is an oscar winner, a true literary masterpiece was disrespected.
    i'm not even gonna talk about the choppy, confusing edit that made it difficult to deepen our connection to the characters.
