Alain E Very good and utterly pessimistic. A young university student has several jobs including waitressing and shop girl. Then she finds herself getting occasional gigs with a company that supplies young female bodies in various states of nakedness, as decoration during different social functions of affluent people. The final stage of her process is she gets anesthesized in the nude and sleeps in a bed while an older man can do with her body anything he wants except penetrative sex. One of her “clients “ chooses to commit suicide lying in the bed next to her. He is not the first character in the movie to choose this exit. As I said, strong positive vibes. There is depiction of nudity throughout the story, but I would not call it titillating. If someone gets sexually excited watching this movie, that person needs psychiatric evaluation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/25 Full Review L S Between the long and lingering scenes and Emily Browning's muted but committed performance, there is much left unsaid and an ever-present sense of even more beneath the surface of this meticulous, unsettling masterpiece. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/10/25 Full Review Susan W I watched this movie several times because it haunted me. It doesn't hand you the message, and you probably won't get it if you haven't realized at some point that you have been surpressing trauma and grief and moving like a sleep walker through your life, numbing yourself with careless choices. The main character seems to have no support, friends, family except for one person, who is the only person she shows attachment to, and is more broken than she is. She remains detached because she's practiced it, long before we see this part of her story, to protect herself from feeling the pain. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Mei H I just love Emily! But the movie is slow paced, not a very engaging story. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Sean M Boring and utterly disturbing film where nothing is ever explained. Tries to be profound, but isn’t worth the time investment. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Kelly S The concept lead me to believe with would be a thrilling story alas disappointment. There is no depth in the characters and their story so each seen is as empty as empty can be. Disapointment is a start but just like this movie I won't delve into why Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
