Extremely bonkers in a lot of good ways!
Horror porno
The premise of a traumatized woman who is tied inextricably to a dream-travelling apocalyptic cult by means (and to an end) that become more apparent as the film progresses is a clever one, and one worth exploring. However, as smart as the premise is, the actual *content* of the movie is not smart, or deep, like the positive reviews want you to believe. The body of the film is, as ChadtheChud said, a "degenrate sex odyssey." More than half of the movie is comprised of very uncomfortable sexual content that does not serve to advance the plot in any way, and the premise is left hanging for most of the runtime in favor of showing the lead actress naked. The entirety of the actual plot occurs during a 5-minute scene about 20 minutes in, and then during the last 15 minutes; during which a dozen plot threads are introduced and then immediately tied up back to back. A case of a brilliant concept brought low by horrid direction. Seriously, don't trust the reviews calling it "deep and smart." It isn't.
Deep and good. Not for dumb dumbs.
It was a bit cerebral but I enjoyed it.
