“The push-and-pull spirituality reminded me of early Scorsese,
without the 'satisfaction' of release, and the way it's melded with the
expression of the (trustworthy? untrustworthy?) narrators is compelling-- it
made me want to scratch under the surface to find out more, or maybe more
satisfyingly, to speculate on what might be true, what might come of the
various fantasies being played out.
'Of the two, love is what I want, but it's the pain I trust..'
That seems to me like an accurate summation of the crucial visual structure of
the movie, and it's very sensitively revealed and sustained.
