This was a pleasure to watch. You change who you want the protagonist to be multiple times. The mind games this movie plays with your psyche.. Keeps me wanting more. It's a definite watch
This film changes at least twice. The first twist will catch you off guard, for sure. Luckily I went in without knowing anything about this film. It's different than most films and the story is a bit addicting, albeit nonsensical. This is a thriller to have fun with but defintely not to be taken seriously. Don't expect some groundbreaking plot line or characterization but know that there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you hooked until the end. And if you don't focus too much on it's ridiculous storyline, the film is actually quite fun.
It does get gruesome at parts. Don't say you haven't been warned.

I literally felt a little sick for a moment after finishing this movie but it wasn't the gore.
Almost the entire film just felt so weird, strange and unappealing to watch.
Especially the ending is so over the top that you are just left confused and unsatisfied.
If that feeling I got at the end was the intention of the director, this film succeeded.
But there is a story in this somewhere, a few twists and some good visuals.

The production quality and acting are 100% excellent. The story itself is so implausible and just didn't make enough sense for me. On the other hand, the film maintains interest (certainly not boring). So...ten stars for top-notch production and acting. Minus five stars for a somewhat ridiculous plot. Then I added a star because it kept my interest until the end. I hope that helps!
This movie was bizarrely gruesome and somehow hilarious. Some weird twists and a very dark underlying story of "The Perfection." Probably would not recommend to those who have uneasy stomachs. Felt the need to write a review after seeing some on here are instantly making it political. Enjoyed the movie for what it was.
