Any time someone says "Why is Hollywood so creatively bankrupt?" point to this. Shame that Alex Garland should be a director on the rise with this and his superb "Ex Machina" will likely struggle to get another movie made soon. |

They'll prop up the latest Amy Schumer / Melissa McCarthy crap fest and tell us that if we don't like it it's because we hate women, but they won't support a decent original film starring women. |
Sad, but true.
I don't know if it will rank among my favorite movies of the year, but it was definitely worth the watch and I won't soon forget it. Quite the mindfuck. We can always use more relatively original and daring works like it.
