    I'm stunned, honestly. I am rarely thoroughly invested in movies because I can usually feel the clear divide between real life and the screen, but this one REALLY pulled me in. It was beautiful, for lack of a better word. Gorgeous. Some of the shots will stay with me for a very, very long time. Amy's pain...so real and heart- wrenching. And I love love love the posing in the very last scene. Visceral, cutting, vivid. I can see why people would be upset about this movie being labeled horror. Up until the very end, not much occurs that would be found in a typical horror movie. But at the same time, I can see why it IS horror. There are monsters everywhere in the movie: depression, trauma, a broken heart, desperation, Amy herself. And as she says in the movie, many other forms of violence exist besides the kind that involves a gun or a beating, and you see it so clearly everywhere in this movie. I can say, with all the genuineness I can muster, that I love this film. I'm usually very bad at handling the drama genre because I find that the emotions can be overwhelming. This one, though, is a perfect balance of quirky/funny/fascinating and utterly sad. It kept me engaged and hoping so hard for a happy ending without coming on too strong. So worth the watch.
