Okay, so I am 74 so that probably influences my bad rating of this film to some extent. That being said, I am an author of numerous books and have written screenplays and appeared in a movie myself for what that is worth. Now to the film... I found the plot extremely confusing to follow and that is being generous. I enjoy a good SF movie but this one made so little sense that I quickly found myself struggling to understand what I was seeing. The acting was okay but whoever edited the film created something that for me at least, was incredibly uninteresting. The character development was nearly non-existent. I found myself not caring a bit what happened to anyone in the film because everyone was frankly lacking in any redeeming qualities whatsoever. It reminded me of a similarly distasteful film called MOTHER with Jenifer Lawrence. It is astonishing to me why talented, well-known actors would agree to appear in such a bad film. But even more astonishing is what great ratings the critics are giving it. Makes me feel like a stranger in a strange land. No, I would NOT recommend anyone waste their time watching this film. What little message it contains regarding mother-daughter relationship struggles is entirely lost in all the chaos and stunningly schizophrenic behaviors of all the characters.
