Pulled in by the first scene and then it's just an experience of emotions. I never wanted any particular outcome for the main character, just felt along with her. This film is an experience, not something to think through but to feel through. Sometimes it's confusing, sometimes uncomfortable, that's part of the range. I loved the last scene, the feeling you get at the very end. It's foolish to compare this to other films or artists, because it really isn't at all like anything else. It's Billie Piper's original art, and she clearly knows what she's doing. I appreciated viewing this alone, having space to feel the unexpected depths where it reached.

I had to watch this movie when I saw how polarized the IMDb reviews were. People either seemed to LOVE or HATE it. I really enjoyed the themes of this movie, the overall message, the acting, and most of the direction. The major problems came for me when the Director got a little too artsy-fartsy, which really only happened towards the end of the movie. I think the opening scene was brilliant, not only for its candor, but because it will tell you if you will be able to enjoy the movie right then and there. A lot of people will probably turn it off right away, and that's probably for the best. If you don't like it, don't force yourself to watch it, it's a rough and uncomfortable journey. I give the movie a 6 to say it's above average, worth watching if you're into that kind of movie, but not something anyone MUST see. I look forward to more from this filmmaker, if they can reserve their art school tendencies.

I enjoyed the film, though definitely had overlaps with Billie Piper's series I Hate Suzie (which I must say I preferred). At times I couldn't work out if I was supposed to be rooting for her character and love interest to be together, and I found Pete's character rather confusing. But on the whole enjoyable and inventive, really intrigued to see what Billie comes up with next.

You have to pay close attention to this movie and see closely what they are saying, if you lose track you will get bored but it's worth watching it and ofcource the dance scene is legendary.

A messy film with a couple of psychopaths using F-bombs excessively. So they appear cool to similar morons. Yes, even the child is swearing. Chaotic scenes suggesting a Facebook incoherent moronic environment. Ugly people, ugly souls.
