User Review
Portrait of a Cult
Rating: 10/10
When I first saw the preview for this film, it looked like a trippy
indie film with a great soundtrack. I decided to give it a chance and
bought it. It just came in today and I have to say, it is not what I
expected, but better.
This film is not about some rebel girl who runs away from home and has
insane adventures. This is a movie about a girl who is desperately
trying to become a part of something and the mother who follows her
into a dangerous cult. It has so much more depth than I expected. The
movie's hero is clearly Bat from beginning to end. However, other
characters who the viewer does not expect become heroes as well. The
movie shows a very scary and a very real descent into the lifestyle of
a cult. The characters are unique and are uniquely duped into this
life.
The acting in it is phenomenal. Ellen Page, who we now know as Juno,
shows another side of herself as the resilient Bat. The character shows
real strength in the face of confusion.
This movie entices and rattles the viewer. It dares to ask the
question, What is a perfect world?
