Movies are made to be enjoyed and a director usually wants to please a viewer with every scene, telling a story in harmony with music. This is one of those films that lacks that for the first 90 minutes. It's all style over substance without much effort in storytelling. Everything is explained in detail and nothing left for the audience to guess. Then comes a twist which tries to save the film and the last 30 minutes are pure joy. However it comes a little too late to save the film from being a total disaster.
This could be remade into a much better film by just leaving the last 30 minutes into it and making new scenes and new script. Stronger scifi elements, stronger dialogue, pacing and so forth. The director obviously loves to imitate many masterful directors so I just have to see what her own style is to be. There's nothing original in remaking Stepford wives, Truman show, Suburbicon, Vivarium or something similar without a plausible script.
In summary this was totally forgettable movie which leaves too many loose ends untied. Most importantly story was left untold.
