Rare Beasts

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.

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 couldnt keep up. I think I understood the concept, that it was meant to show her interpretation of the unfiltered versions of what was inside peoples heads rather than the external versions of what they actually say. But with that in mind, I still dont know what this film was trying to portray.

This is not easy to watch. I do not know if some of the misogynism is imagined or based on actual events. There is more self-criticism here than some people could tolerate. This is the worst situation, when you can see how a person is trapped, but they don't realise it. No angels or saviours inhabit this space. There is no redemption. Here is real life, and it is not pretty. I can't see this being popular, as it is disheartening. Nobody is cast in a positive light. That is realism. This reminded me of Mike Leigh's films, but this is bleaker. I believe that Billie Piper should continue directing. She is needed.

This was a very intriguing/bizarre film. I guess you can call it a dramedy of love, faith and atheism. I just felt that it was a bunch of rare scenes that were so unfollowable. Was this a play, was it a film, honestly I'm still not sure. I so tried to follow this story but I still don't know where I ended up. I will say this....it was definitely rare.
