I have seen a lot of movies - arguably, too many - but had never seen that trope before. (She can do things with her eyes and glasses that many actresses cannot even do with dialog.) The fact that the setting for the opening scenes is a shop that makes sex dolls also was an interesting hook. Any movie that begins with the massively-talented and criminally under-utilized Alison Pill is automatically ahead on points. That said, I didn't just like the first half-hour of this film, I loved it. So, as a courtesy to those who have not seen this film, I suggest that rabid fans of this production who have already seen it, and are looking for validation, just stop right here. I recommend it highly.Īs a 'prolific' reviewer, I have found over the years that many IMDb members do not use these reviews to check out a film before watching, they prefer to see the film first and then up-rate the reviews that 'agree' with their Pov, and down-rate those that don't. I did like the film a lot because it was self referential while zooming in on the viewer and their own effect on themselves and everybody else. Motifs like the role of the woman in society, our obsession with looking different from what we are, whether it is about the size of tits or penis or whether we are perfectly attractive and resent being seen as sex objects, and how the things we do in life come back to haunt us are everywhere.

The individual stories were interesting enough, each touching on human vanity. The whole plot is a metaphor on the toxic loop in which we live our lives. The idea is quite fresh: this Brazilian model is writing a book about a girl that works in a sex doll factory and who is writing a comic about the man of her dreams who is a famous director directing the movie in which the lead character is the Brazilian model. Second, it is smarter than it is commercial, something that, ironically, is being touched on in the film. If you're wondering how is it possible that this movie is so good and yet you have missed it, the reason is two-fold.
