7/10
An Artistic,Sarcastic View on Art.

I rarely write review, maybe i've written once or twice before.

I loved this movie, simply because it took to a place where I had to try and decipher every scene, a movie that challenged me in a sense.

Adam Driver was exceptional as usual in his portrayal of a stand up comedian who is rude and says the taboo things (like many others in the same field) while Marion is the Opera Singer who's always dying and bowing, which for me was very well in an artistic way, yet sarcastic.

The introduction of Annette as a doll makes a huge difference, was she a doll because everyone looked at her as an object and not a person? Adam Driver saw her as a way to prove that he was good? While Marion looked at her as an extension of herself? While Simon only saw her as the fruit of his lover of Anne? A look into what could've been?

She's only seen by the end as a human being, when Adam Driver truly asks her forgiveness.

The movie tackles child exploitation very well with some YouTube nods, shows women speaking out about abuse.

The movie was visually stunning with some Tim Burton elements imo, it's a piece of art, not for everyone though.
