The film is based on the novel by the Ukrainian writer Yurii Smolych "Doctor Galvanescu's Household". From my point of view the film and the book are two different things. The author's version is not a psychodogic thriller, although such elements can be seen there. In my opinion, the original novel is more dynamic, quite full of unexpected turns, events, etc. Originally, it's more a young lady story full of different challenging and exsiting events.
In any case, as a separate story, the film is worth watching. Just wanted to give you some background info.

Laplace's Witch 2018
Once Takashi Miike confessed: " I don't think about the audience, I don't think about what makes them happy, because there's no way for me to know. To try to think of what makes for entertainment is a very Japanese thing. The people who think like this are old-fashioned. They think of the audience as a mass, but in fact every person in the audience is different. So entertainment for everyone doesn't exist."
I like this movie and I like Toyokawa Etsushi, whose character is a core of the whole story.Translated from by -
