The ending just left everything hanging. There were too many loose ends and no explanations. I'm fine with films that maybe don't explicitly explain everything, but where the viewer can figure it out on its own based on the clues given. But this wasn't like that. There were no clues or hints or anything It seemed more like the creators just came up with the main idea (a cam girl getting her identity stolen), but couldn't figure out a way to tie everything together, and couldn't come up with a rhyme or reason for anything. And so the creators just vaguely blamed it on this nondescript "it"--that the viewer never learns anything about--that for no reason makes copies of cam girls, with slightly altered personalities It had potential, but it didn't follow through. It was like a murder mystery that in the end has some unsatisfying "it was this random homeless guy all along who had no motive" type of ending. What was the entity? Why did it do this? What happened to all the other girls it did this to? It was just anticlimactic The film could have gone with at least an extra half hour to its runtime and at least twice as much thought / planning on the part of the creators into the actual story to help sum everything up in a coherent fashion. As it stands, I enjoyed how much of it there was (the characters were interesting and engaging, the acting was good, the build-up was well executed), but it felt incomplete, like only the first fragment of a full idea

The first time I saw this film was a while back (maybe a decade ago), and I thought it was interesting. I saw it a couple more times since then--each time a few years apart--and I liked it more and more with each viewing In my opinion, it's one of the most underrated films. I really don't have any negatives to say about it. It's pacing flowed perfectly, which is really important since the story isn't linear and it travels around through the timeline. Sometimes this isn't done well in films and it becomes confusing to try to figure out when in the timeline a certain scene takes place. This wasn't like that at all; it was always clear when everything was, in spite of how often it jumped around to different events It didn't shy away from the bisexual element, which I wholeheartedly applaud. Most films, especially ones with famous actors in them (as oppose to small, indie films), will avoid actually showing things like men kissing or any other man / man sexual content. To where even if a character is said to be gay or bisexual, the viewer will never actually see any clear evidence of this. But why shouldn't it be clear, considering how explicit man / woman relationships (kissing, sex, etc.) are shown in nearly every mainstream film? Along those lines, the relationships in the film are well fleshed-out and complex, including the two main ones between the male characters. I'm glad about that, because it's nice to see bisexual relationships between men depicted as being real emotional connections rather than merely hookups. Especially since it seems that the stereotype about bisexual men (besides that we don't exist) is that our greatest love and romantic attachment is always with women (or with a specific woman), and that men are just people we screw on the side. This film did a great job dismantling this trope I loved the main characters. They felt real and I could empathize with them easily. Some of them had flaws (some very serious flaws), but they all had enough redeeming qualities that I couldn't hate any of them. They felt like real people, and this was boosted by how great the acting all was. The story had a bittersweet but mostly pleasant and completely satisfying ending that tied up enough loose ends and in the end left me with a positive outlook on how the characters would end up Also, there were some cool songs, especially if you're into glam rock. Ultimately, I would recommend it

It was nice. Nothing groundbreaking (the ending is what one would expect). But still entertaining and worth watching. Rohan Chand put up a convincing performance, especially for his age

Though it's not flawless, it's actually a really interesting story with plenty of twists and turns. I was pleasantly surprised, considering the mostly negative reviews. The "twist" would have been really well done, if not for it being spoiled in the TITLE and the COVER ART ITSELF. Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to spoil the twist literally before the film even begins? A very bad decision on their parts

Yeah, it didn't have much of a plot. But that didn't stop it from being terrifying in all the right ways. It was creepy without being excessively gory, and is the kind of thing you'l conveniently remember when you're walking alone in the house at night.

The animation is gorgeous, and the storyline is much more engrossing and heartfelt than I expected. I was really impressed

I expected it to be worse, horrible even, judging by the reviews. But it was actually entertaining, and I don't regret watching it. There was no clear explanation for what the creatures were, but I don't think explaining the villain is always necessary. The message / metaphor itself is not hard to surmise without it having to be spelled out

SPOILER WARNING Great acting, great relationship development. My main conflict is with the ending. This is what I usually see in gay films: 1. Two guys have intimate relations. One man is very closeted, straight-identifying, and homophobic. While the other is more accepting of the idea of being gay 2. The more accepting guy starts to fall in love and wants more intimacy. While the homophobic guy feels shame and regret, and gets angry when the other guy pushes for more 3. They might mess around a few more times, but something comes to a head (usually someone finds out) and the homophobic guy freaks out and denounces their relationship 4. The homophobic guy moves on, dates a woman, basically continues his whole life living mostly contentedly as a "straight" man, completely leaving the other guy behind. The more accepting guy is left miserable, pining after the homophobic guy "Mario" was a little different in that it flipped the narrative of point 4. Instead of the openly gay guy left pining after the homophobe who moves on to marry a woman, it's the homophobe whose left pining after the openly gay guy, who moved on with another man. So the message seemed to change from "it's miserable to be openly gay, the guy you fall in love with will be ashamed and leave you" to "it's miserable to be closeted, you're better off staying with the man who loves you instead of pretending to be straight" So I liked that element of it. On the other hand, it did of course perpetuate the inevitable trope of gay men ending up miserable and not being able to have a happy ending
