    Technically speaking this is close to being perfect. Great camera work, stunning color palette and composition with really captivating performances.
    The thin line between abstraction and absurdity makes it very complicated defining the purpose or the significance for this film. Even so, it is a very interesting exercise to consider when it comes to that period of french cinema.

    Truly one of the most exciting movie theater experiences. The immersive atmosphere by the perfect sound mixing and a beautiful animation makes this film one of the best of the past year, if not of the decade. 

    Funny, charming, compelling and delicate.

    I’m tired of having some dude telling me how hallucinating drugs are sooo gooood for me and waaay beeeetter than coffee or a beer. Dude, I know you are an addict and I’m glad it’s not to heroine but stop romanticizing putting something alien into your body. Shouldn’t have been shoot on film, it’s a waste. Good editing. 

    One star goes completely to the pigeons.

    It's hard, isn't it? Being a person?

    The feelings of isolation and anxiety working at a boring lame office as well as the complexities of forming relationships are so relatable, marvelous writing. Ridley captures the intricacies of a character grappling with her inner struggles with a breathtaking performance that blends perfectly with the tone and the atmosphere that the score and cinematography brings to the film. 

    The search for love and life meaning are always present, as it is in real life.
