A visually succulent and enticing film that slithers around the edges of true confrontation but lacks the courage to boldly pull the trigger it needs to. A dreamy magical realism envelops this “Lost meets Sucker Punch in the feminine war for autonomy and self-worth”, but a bit more grit would have cemented it beyond fascinating and watchable and into pressing and vital. As it stands, it is a flare shot up into the dark sky; flickering brilliance which quickly fades and diminishes - a thought of saving but merely a flash in the void.
