Jason S Very little plot but some cool visuals during overly drawn out scenes. Cameos from big actors playing against type are completely wasted as the characters aren't really used well. Don't waste your time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Felipe M Brilliant opening of the film, the musical score gives you a Hypnotic feel, one that carries out trough out the film, this to me is an expose of the model industry and Hollywood, the depts of its true nature and it is ugly empty soul per say, reminds me of the substance in a way.. and yes none of the characters are likeable but this films is not looking for that. bit of a horror movie at times.. the photographer in the movie embodies the industry, emotionless, cold and apathetic.. Jessy is the sacrificial innocent lamb who ultimately surrenders to the nature of the beast as much as the other models have done so already. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Audience Member Sweet lord! I want that hour and 58 minutes of my life back. This was nonsensical - and not in a good way. How in the heck did they convince Keanu and other notable names to sign up for this?? There is just no throughline at all with the plot, the characters' motivations, an underlying evil, a stated philosophy... NONE of it makes sense. Anyone who is calling this "Art" probably believes the emperor's clothes look great on him. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Mx S It's pretty, but it simultaneously tries to say too much while not saying enough. I'm not a dialogue dependent audience member, but at times this movie felt up it's own butt too much with long silent dragging scenes obviously trying to say something deep and meaningful but not managing to do so. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Ricardo d O filme tem todo um diferencial devido a escolha da direção em tratar um tema que já foi falado em outros filmes, mas usando uma linguagem figurativa. Temos um belo trabalho de fotografia, iluminação, maquiagem e figurino. Não poderia ser diferente em se tratando do tema sobre moda e beleza visual. Quanto ao roteiro, mesmo citando questões importantes, não deixa de ser uma trama superficial. Todos os personagens são maniqueístas, e até mesmo a personagem principal não tem profundidade, o que nos faz não se importar com seu destino. Talvez isso não torne o filme com nota máxima. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review John S As others have accurately pointed out - it looks nice and has a cool electronic soundtrack, but that's it. The rest is negative. 'Slow', 'boring', 'pointless', 'laughable', 'repulsive', and 'cynical' are all appropriate descriptors for the various elements of this film. I'll also add, the movie contains both necrophilia and cannibalism, so heads up. There are also basically no likeable characters in this movie, it's over long in terms of runtime, and in each individual scene everything takes frustratingly long to happen even for a slow burn. Lastly, the message of the movie is such low hanging fruit that no one needs a reminder. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
