I watched this movie randomly, like I usually do and I liked it, later I was surprised when I saw the low ratings and the reviews.
So, I felt obliged to mention and explain why I liked it and how it is actually a good movie. In my humble opinion.
Most modern movies are based on action and/or visuals, and totally disregard the substance of the story.
You might get the visuals from those; you might get popular actors and you might get some superficial ambiguous plot filled with holes and cliches.
This one is obviously different.
The plot is solid, the idea and the philosophy of this movie is like clear yet very deep water.
You should stare into it a bit to discover what lays beneath, you should pay attention to understand.
I would also like to spend a moment to appreciate the actresses who have done a great job, it is hard not to sympathize.
Moreover, the characters - without giving us any superficial info about their background, we get to experience them through a series of small interactions, which paint a good and realistic picture of their personalities. This is some work well done.
Somehow this movie manages to sell you an idea of a cult (I guess you can call it a cult) and moreover give you a perspective on how it can be appropriate or morally good to have one.
And all of this while avoiding silly cliches and meaningless dialogues.
Not saying all of this is totally new or flawlessly executed.
Maybe it's not a flawless gem, but it surely is good enough to ponder on.
This movie is much better than it is being given credit to.
However, you really need to be in the right mood to appreciate the beauty and the idea, and how it is different from many similar ones you might've seen before.
