This may give spoilers. I found it original and complex. Really wanted to try to figure out whether the lead was damaged or a survivor acting on desperate moves…great acting from the cast. It had a major creepy factor to it, and I think her original children, especially her daughter were amazing. It did remind me of Jordan Peele-but that shouldn’t be a factor in it it -the director and producer of this film we’re very good-it’s meant as a compliment I think that there are a lot of underlying themes. Of course this is just my opinion, but the main character when scratching at her wigs tells me that she’s not comfortable with “who” she is The fact that her second husband couldn’t relate to her was really difficult. I think that this is a pretty deep film on a lot of issues. I don’t think there’s any escaping the fact that the closing song said it all. There are people that don’t fit in to particular norms in terms of color and hair. That is sad because that’s what makes us all unique.There are a lot of us that don’t feel particularly comfortable because we are going through different phases of life. I can honestly say that with my own personal season right now I look tired and troubled, and am used to people sometimes staring at me. But when I look around, I see a lot of people that look just like me. As a retired therapist, I have a lot of empathy for all the boundaries we set up in this world and I especially think we need a lot more empathy. People are carrying burdens that we have no idea about. I thought this was an incredible movie which had a lot of nuances. Very good …left me thinking about how it affected me emotionally. I truly give it five stars. I know other people won’t agree but that’s what opinions are all about right? If you want to watch it, my best idea would be give it some space and don’t try to put it in a box.

Once I have seen a show, I love to go back and see if other people had the same reaction. I am a fan of the genre, too, and btw if you haven't seen Rectify, it's a gem. I love Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul. I thought he had better material to work with than she did and his performance was fantastic. Her talent was wasted. Other reviews have echoed my thoughts-I completely disliked Poppy. I thought she was selfish, condescending, self-righteous and lucky to have a husband that put up with her. Her family was completely unlikeable too. Some plot developments never went anywhere. Poppy's statements were contradictory regarding her character's personality and beliefs. In terms of the script, sometimes all Octavia could do was react emotionally as best she could but the script was empty. I started on the first episode of season two and thought it was so bad that I rewatched the last Ted Lasso and called it a night.

I always think fresh, provocative ideas deserve stars. The set was great, the acting excellent and the story a new twist. Sure it's been done before conceptually but the way they told it this time around was startling. I think I felt as trapped as they were. That's meant as a compliment to the team who wrote and made this. The couple does such a good job showing us how they are transformed and the very human response to knowing on some level what kind of situation you are really in. I wonder if some viewers didn't get sucked into that too and that's why they didn't like it? I does make you want OUT. I'm glad I saw it although I had to shake the "dark." I thought it was creative and different.

Great acting and a fresh movie. I always love twists (no spoilers) but this one keeps you guessing whether you are going to get one or not and I won't tell you! Worth watching if you like psychological thrillers.

I agree this one was so fun and engrossing but left my head spinning. I will probably read the review and watch it again. Fantastic story and the acting was great, especially Hawke.

I thought it was a good one. I tend, these days, to stay away from monsters, ghosts and absolutely demon-stuff and really like the thriller with a twist genre. But the movie itself was beautifully and artfully filmed and the story (I disagree with "same ole, same ole) caught me off guard.

This movie lost me early on when the narrator said he had just gone through two years of hell before he started his octopus therapy. Does he have any idea what hell is? It's NOT work burnout or a midlife crisis. It's multiple losses, health struggles, parents with dementia.....Maybe he hasn't experienced enough life yet. The filming is beautiful. Too bad he had to disturb this wonderful creature's natural instincts to fulfill his 'need.' I read some other reviews. People actually said they would no longer eat octopuses. Seriously? Guess what, chickens are companion animals and are known to be smart so you can take those off your list, too. This is a self-indulgent, cruel snuff film. It was even criticized for winning an award. If you truly care, give to iFAW or WWF or some other credible charity that actually makes a difference.

I positively fell in love with this show and binged it. It was raw, incredibly well written and so engaging. Unlike a lot of other series, it knew when to end. I laughed and cried but I never got tired of the sharp script and the plot turns. One of the very best Netflix has turned out.
