Comments as follows

• Totally weird
• That’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back
• Didn’t think I would like it after ‘Lobster’ but I did, so either I’m sick or tired
• Reminded me of David Lynch, Kubrick and Michael Haneke in the way it was so unsettling and challenging to watch.  Great cinematography and score.  Provocative narrative.
• Not as good as ‘Lobster’ but I still enjoyed.  The photography shots were good.  Acting very wooden but that was their characters.  Missing the link to the title of the film and the film itself.
• In one word- hysterical.  Also remarkable cinema, so appalling and funny
• Unusual macabre, zany music and camera angles – odd with no laughs
• Does it mean something?  Is it a metaphor?  Is it telling of the limitations of medicine?  From the outset the relationships were peculiar.  It is Stephen’s self- destructive phantasy?  No idea!  The music/sounds were unsettling and unpleasant.  The final classical piece of music was sublime
• Quite derivative in its score, pacing and style.  I think it wants to be understood on a metaphorical level.  From the outset the family seem odd and unaffectionate.   On the surface they have all they need materially but they’re soulless.  A metaphor for the death of the ‘American Dream’??
• Good acting but what the hell???   What was it all about?
• The filming was good – sound and music good but acting was wooden and hard to have any feeling for any of the characters.
• A gripping film right until the end.  Moving performance by Martin.  But why do people have to eat so noisily in the cinema!
