Commenting after seeing a lot of negative reviews of the show.
This isn't your typical feel good kind of movie.
***** SPOILER ALERT*** Do not read further unless you have watched the movie.
The beauty of the movie is that you cannot believe a single word which the characters other than the protagonist say.
Several themes exist such as gaslighting, hunger in life, etc.
Did they really go to Africa? Did she actually get a plastic surgery? Was her name what she said it was? Was the rich guy just gaslighting or the thing he said about the greenhouses really a metaphor for something he was about to do? Did he really do what the writer thought he did? We will never know.
The movie leaves us with more questions than answers deliberately and this is the beauty of the movie. A lot of symbolisms also in the movie like the cat which exists and doesn't exist like Schrodingers cat, the tangerine theory which is actually the theme throughout the movie, wherein the writer eventually has an answer and he convinces himself that thats the answer.
And to end it all, the writer eventually literally gas-lights the rich guy and disappears, or so is the possibility.
A really good movie is my review.
