I have now seen this movie twice, and I love it. Admittedly, it is undeniable that the storytelling is somewhat fractured, but the movie is arranged in such a way that I’m really not bothered by the fact at all. The acting is perfect and the visuals and soundtrack are surreal and otherworldly.

A common complaint is that there isn’t enough development to get attached to any of the characters. In my opinion, after seeing how deeply Hugh Jackman’s character is affected by his wife’s condition, it would be quite difficult not to empathize with him.

I’ve got to say though, I’m not a fan of the bald-Jackman-in-lotus-position.
