    Is Lydia a villain? A victim? A monster? Or simply a misunderstood genius? An answer that academics will debate for years to come as a result of Cate Blanchett's bravura performance as Lydia in a movie ripe with social commentary and discourse. Every scene, song, and dialogue highlights Lydia's calculated portrayal of life and success. At first glance, the orchestra is a perfect allegory for Lydia's life - a beautiful exterior in perfect harmony. However, as the scenes go by, we realize this troubled character has a jarring internal disconnect to reality as a result of her genius and trade.

    Not since Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has a movie amazed me with not only its originality but it’s ability to uniquely tell higher level themes around individuality, acceptance, and the meaning of life. It’s quirkiness paired with its emotional depth makes for an unparalleled viewing experience filled with full belly laughing and gut wrenching tears.
