Well it was just weird. But I really loved Mark Ruffalo in the movie. He was so funny. And he really made the role very believable. The other actors and actresses were great but their roles didn't have the same kind of acting needed. Ruffalo was able to put more emotion into his role. Emma Stone did her role very well as the lovely Bella. Who was learning more and becoming a more rounded role for her. So her "frankinsteinish" role was well played. Dafoe as the mad scientist who let his creation loose into the world was well played as well! Personally I would have just watched it for Mark Ruffalo though.

Everything from the script to cinematography to music. The beautiful story told about how we are stolen from our innocence by the world of perversion. So confusing to me that anyone dislike the film or misconstrue it for being crass or over the top. The story it tells is absolutely beautiful. The fact that people don't like it on the account of it being "creepy" and "groomy" is exactly what the movie is calling out- ironic!

The unsettling music that plays throughout and the way the film coloration moves as she matures and develops her vocabulary and motor skills is subtle but very apparent in other ways.

Incredible film- what a fantastic director.

Check out another great from him Calle DogTooth.

The difference in cookie cutter dramas and movies like this is awe inspiring. The drtail and imagination that goes into making a film like this comes thru in a shocking manner. Finally we see a comedic dark twisted gilm that feature many great performances by actors who took alot of risks to even do a movie like this. Although it mimics Frankenstein at times the story twists into a twisted and sexual situational film about a woman finding her true identity in society. The film is shot in a great perspective snd the mix of color and black and white makes it even better, kind of like a twisted Wizard of Oz.
