At first glance, this seems like a good film. The cinematography is stunning, giving the movie a stylish and artistic vibe. However, my main issue lies in how the characters are written. Almost every character feels unnatural, as if they're not behaving like real people. To be clear, the actors deliver solid performances-it's the script that's problematic. The dialogue and interactions feel overly scripted and staged, which breaks the immersion.

The film's pretentiousness is especially evident in the ending, which makes no sense. Without delving into spoilers, I couldn't help but wonder: what was the point? How does it actually help the girl in the story? It feels like an attempt to be profound but ends up being confusing and unsatisfying.

With all the bad reviews I was expecting a bad movie but a bad movie it is not, I totally enjoyed it. Yes, there are flaws. One important scene of a certain character's death could have been written much better because the whole plot of the movie revolves from there. Watch it and you'll see what I mean.

Kidman is amazing as usually, but her performance is really tainted by the awful "aged" makeup she has through the movie, it is very difficult to take her seriously sometimes because of this. Don't believe me? Just look at one of the posters or screenshots in IMDB, it will probably put you off from watching this completely, but if you can get by that, you should find yourself enjoying the ride..
