The story is broken. This is terribly gross gimmicky soft sci-fi. The plot does not explore any new territory. This is watching an 80s horror movie in slow motion; watching insects escape molten tar is more exciting, faster and less predictable. Sluggish, predictable, characters frustratingly limp, with complexities dreamed up by arthouse chinstrokers. Colour palette is gorgeous but not worth the time sink. This movie is not worth the psychological analysis of gender meta. This is something to be missed. This is something to wear your turtlenecks to.
