Not as thematically-resonant as Dogtooth, Funny Games or Zona this is simply an anecdote that never rises to the level of a serious look at the human condition. The central character is unlikeable and we never really get to know her apart from the fact that she has no life of her own and emotionally-parasites off of others. The relationships between the characters do not really work or come alive and so we are left to wonder what all this really adds up to - apart from a detailed look at the trajectory of one woman's nervous breakdown. Simply too under-written to be taken seriously yet its theme of a humanitarian solution for people who cannot accept love is appealing - as is the sympathetic treatment and centrality of female lives.
