A very disappointing and all around bad film by Sia.
I do not in any way think Sia should be “cancelled” for this film, however the choices she made throughout the production of this film was ignorant and irresponsible. She had every chance throughout the three years this was being produced to make it something better, and to take advice as well as critiques that she was aware were coming her way. However she did not, and chose to just use tunnel vision, which is what landed her in this position.
Now, with all of the offensive content and public drama aside, this movie still just did not cut it for me. Some of the visuals were actually very beautiful and striking, but some of the transitions into songs were just strange to me. Everything all around just seemed very shallow and really lacked depth in the way that I think Sia would have intended. I feel this film unfortunately has too many problematic elements and internal issues for it to even be salvageable in any way. If you are thinking of watching it, it may just be better to skip it altogether. Hopefully in the future Sia does better and realizes why so many people have issues with it and improves.
