I was excited about the movie, but found it was too dark for me. I didn't feel like he sold the romance with the fish guy. She has some really solid friendships in her life with people that accept and value her, so I didn't feel like she finds something with fish dude she couldn't find elsewhere. On the other hand, I didn't finish the film. My teen asked to leave after one of the torture scenes, so perhaps more light is shed on their special bond at the end of the movie.
