This movie is fantastic in a lot of ways, i'd go as far as saying the first 20 minutes of the movie is some of the most well constructed in film of all time!
The overall concept and plot of the film is very interesting and have a lot of ways it could be done and i think this film does a decent job of doing just that.
I mean, the cinematography is probably the best i've seen in a full length film ever, it's done so well even Wes Anderson should take notes!! That together with the totally awesome costume design and steampunk setting the film is some of the most visually appealing i can think of. And the choice to make the first 30min~ or so in black and white both sets the tone of the film perfectly and makes the colors feel so much more vibrant and alive when Bella eventually leaves her habitat (which can be interpreted as a beautiful metaphor).
So the visuals are a clear 11/10 and the acting is also a clear 10/10 but to be honest the movie lost me in the second half, about the time when Bella became a prostitute, my main problem is that the film focuses way too much on sex when there's so many more interesting ways they could've gone with the wonderful character of Bella. If the movie had focused more of lets say her interest in science and surgeries like we see in the end of the film i think it would be more interesting. Although the ending of the film is great and i would recommend this movie to most people.
