A good movie

Since I kept hearing some interesting things about Ben Wheatley, I was quite eager to check one of his movies. Well, even though I did like it, it actually turned out to be one of these movies which are equally fascinating and frustrating to watch. Basically, as usual, I knew pretty much nothing about the damned thing before watching it but I'm pretty sure it's the best way to appreciate this movie. Anyway, at first, it seemed to be a fairly realistic drama mixed with a thriller which was already interesting enough but, at some point, it suddenly became some kind of horror flick mixed with a huge mind-f*ck. Seriously, in the last act, it felt like watching a David Lynch flick so if you like the genre, you will be thrilled, otherwise, you will keep scratching your head wondering what the hell is actually going on. As far as I was concerned, I constantly admired the work done but while this approach was interesting, I thought it was also rather frustrating. Indeed, I don't really see the artistic value of throwing some random scenes without any rational explanation only to turn your movie into some kind of unsolvable enigma. Anyway, even if it wasn't a complete home-run, I really enjoyed the acting and the directing, it was a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in this director.
