The film very clearly seems to be about the stages of grief that, if denied, can lead to suicidal depression—and I say “seems” because a film can be about anything the audience wants it to be about. A beautiful part of storytelling. You, for example, felt it expressed nothing and you are therefore right because your experience wholly belongs to you.

I thought, however, its theme was pretty heavy handed, but I appreciated the clarity with which the experience of that kind of grief was expressed figuratively. Although grief is different for everyone, the film did an excellent job of representing an abstract, inner struggle so viscerally.

To be honest, until I went through the pain of losing a loved one, I didn’t understand the film. Now, I very much do. And I think it did a great job talking about it.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed your review.
