The performances, particularly by Florence Pugh, are honestly great and this movie looks fantastic. The desert oasis "Victory" that the film takes place in, with it's unique American 1950s style, in looks great.

It is reminiscent of films like The Stepford Wives and The Truman Show. The first two thirds of the film builds intrigue in a great way with intelligently placed happenings as well as pieces of information. However this is followed by the third act which is a disappointing reveal that ultimately doesn't match up to its build-up, it removes all the nuance in the story and reduces the complexity of the characters and mysterious world-building.

I was ultimately dissatisfied and disappointed with the conclusion, and it felt like a waste of a superbly acted great looking movie.

Extremely beautiful in places, gorgeous to look at, but it can't conceal the haphazard story that results in a hard to follow and uninvolving movie.

Enter the world of the sociopathic killer and enjoy.

There is much to learn about the atrocities of WWII, but it can not be learned from this film. This film appears to want to be artistic and make a point, I don't understand why it is placed among the best, brute force can't be used to convey tragedy. It could have said much more with less, the length would have benefited from some serious editing.

It was very hard to watch, not due to the difficulty so much of the brutality of the events depicted rather due to the relentless overacting and completely unnatural performances of the actors. The actors over the top acting and expressions make it appear as the characters are psychotic in almost every scene, and the camera is often positioned right in front of their faces.
