It is definitely an artistic film in terms of the cinematography, as well as in the selected wardrobe and set colors - which was fascinating for me to catch on to and then follow and confirm that I was seeing what I was seeing for the rest of the movie.

It is classified as a fantasy (and somewhat science fiction) film that is graphic (sexually and violently) in parts, but has a very poignant story line.

You would need to have an open mind to appreciate what was done to provide the symbolism that the director locked onto. If you are a Michael Shannon fan, he is there in his full intense glory.
