I liked it. It’s M. Knight’s social commentary.

I fucking loved the premise of this movie. As you say, it had so much potential.
Maybe I over-hyped it for myself (or American TV did, every ten seconds)
But I fell asleep half-way. So I guess I can't rate it yet. shah said 3 years ago

This movie is an even worse example than "the Fountain" of an ambitious movie that couldn't quite "follow through". Good enough, but could have and show have been so much better.

I thought it was fantastic. Didn't think I would, but I did. The story, the acting, everything, just really enjoyable. If you are on board with the premise, I think he really follows it through solidly without disappointment. An interesting fairytale with a great mood. shah said 2 years ago
