User Reviews

Clearly overrated

I gave it 2 stars only because the music was great as it was the acting. But the plot, connections between characters, how the "action" develops made it hard to follow and not get bored. There was no need to put in a movie all messages about drug addiction, gender violence, self-destruction, genius unable to discover true love, etc. with no real action between them, a documentary would have been sufficient (and made the issue more real).

I am not surprised women voted high because of the punishment and awareness supposedly raised by the movie.

I usually try to understand and give higher grades to the movies but this one (like Mother) is clearly overrated.
