Reply to comment by Trxnquill in What are the Top 5 films you think got snubbed from a Best Picture nomination? by Positive_Yam_9125

I didn't think the story was boring in the slightest. I thought it was compelling to watch Dani's journey throughout the film.

>!She starts off feeling lost after the passing of her parents and sister. Then we watch as the cult cleverly disconnects Dani from anything she has left of her old life. She feels that the only real home she has left is with them!<

Then of course the great acting, cinematography, and dialogue. It's definitely not for everybody.

Almost nothing happens in the entire film. 60% of the run time is characters just sitting down/eating/being high without anything meaningful happening, 20% is just girl feeling sad, and the other 20% is excessive violence/absurd screeching. It felt like the film thought it had some clever feminist message to impart but it never got to it. None of the decisions made in the film make any sense when considered for more than 5 seconds.

I watched the film due to it getting hyped up but I couldn't find anything worthwhile in it at all.
