I'll be brief. I have no idea why this film was nominated for best picture. I get that it's supposed to be an adult fairy tale, but really. I just couldn't get past the allegorical nature of most of the characters. Only two characters had any depth: the mute woman and her gay friend. Everyone else was caricature of one kind or another.

I suppose it was visually pleasing, but I found the story too ridiculous to enjoy. A story as silly as this needed a lot more comedic content.

This is a B rate movie dressed up in hype for the Oscars.
