Rating: 9/10 ★★★★★★★★★☆
Comments: This film was absolutely brilliant. I must say though, it isn’t for everyone. The film tends to be a little slow at times, which is why it only received nine out of ten stars. However, the times when it wasn’t slow were incredible. The colors and soundtrack of the film suit it perfectly, as well as the costumes, settings, and overall appearance of the film. The reason I say the film isn’t for everyone is because, well, they kill their mother. It’s very dark and strange at times, but overall, I loved it.
