Finally, incontrovertible proof that improv theater ruins lives.

Helena Howard's performance is amazing. The entire movie is worth watching for her performance alone. The way she bounces of Molly Parker and Miranda July is one of the best I ever saw of a first time actress.

Decker's best film to date. With a more propulsive, driven narrative to support the experimentation, and the usual exceptional performances she elicits from her actors this should prove to be Decker's breakthrough film.

Ham-fisted and ugly portrait of mental illness might have greater resonance if the screenplay could provide some depth or subtlety to its intriguing characters. The tentative dancing around issues of race and appropriation is frustrating at best; Decker's overdone directorial tricks are more disorienting than an effective means to tell this story. Sole highlight is Howard's excellent debut as Madeline; her control and mastery of a wide degree of tone (even in the same scene) deserves applause.

Beautiful, somewhat impenetrable, but wonderfully made and performed.

AKA 'What happens when method acting goes too far?' Not nearly as experimental as some claim, but nonetheless a film that provides the viewer with a unique, even if fragmented, experience with the performative pieces quite powerful. The focus on three fully-drawn female characters provides an energy that is not present with a male trio or female duo. I'm a big Molly Parker fan so I was glad to see her in this film (she seems to me to be underutilised and underappreciated).

Writer-director Josephine Decker has made a picture that's mandatory viewing for film students & high school theatre kids. It has profound takes on performance, sanity, and exploitation, and at times rivals Whiplash (which deals in similar territory). However, the opening 20 minutes could be condensed as it doesn't set up the conflict. And while the improvisational filmmaking helps the acting, it keeps it from being a movie by hampering the script, editing, and photography. Still, recommended.

The epitome of everything I hate in modern cinema and even art in general, both inside and outside the 4th wall of the film.

Helena Howard put in an incredible performance, doing a lot of heavy lifting while playing off everyone perfectly. Besides that, Decker has made a fairly experimental film about mental illness that does some interesting things with it's sound, especially. It's a pretty fearless film that sometimes threatens to drown itself but I still really liked it and think people should watch it because it's one of the more daring films this year.

formun anlatıya uyması, özellikle böyle bir teknik beceriyle kotarıldığında akılcı bir fikre dönüşüyor. fakat tüm dengesizliği, belirsizliği ve güçlü performansları içerisinde aşırı yorucu bir tarafı da var. bu hissi geçirmek anlatı adına belki önemli fakat yorgunluk metne içkin bir keşif noktasından değil filmin kendisinden kaynaklanıyor gibi daha çok. howard harika.

Definitely not my jam. A way too clever film and super artistic will suit some but not many . Also really unsettling visually

I tried to enjoy this movie but it seems it was made by theater people for theater people. I does a really good job of reminding me exactly why I dislike pretentious performance theater. Also the music and sounds effects entirely reeked. Even the wonderful Molly Parker can not elevate this stinker above "awful". What a waste of time and money.

Okay, we don't need any more cinema, we don't need any more theater, it's all right in here.
