Just finished watching the movie. I can understand why it got so many good reviews from critics and so many bad ones from viewers. Obviously the movie is a psychological thriller and it's obvious to them that the main character completely loses her mind in the film, because who ever heard of a baby being kept alive in a man's body for years. However, and this is a slight spoiler alert, there's no real explanation that's ever given as to what is really going on. And the viewers are not happy because of this ambiguity.
Me , personally, I really love the openness of this film. The entire movie only gives you enough of the story from beginning to end and leaves the rest up to you. It gives you the luxury of using your imagination to come up with your own explanation and continuation. Was the whole movie a delusion in the mind of a woman slowly going insane? Was what she experienced real and if so, how? Does or does she not get her happy ending?
For those of you who have watched the film, I would love to know your interpretation of it. What stories could you come up with to fit in with the movie? A psychological thriller or sci-fi? Real or delusions? What is your take on it?
