    Agree with you. I failed to see the point or the entertainment in the movie.

    Pretty similar to my reaction.

    On the ending, I really wanted the reciprocal transplantation as well - Alfie's mind trapped in a goat's body, looking at his body eating the bushes

    I'm 45 and by no means a prude or averse to strange plots or sex scenes…

    But, for the first time in my LIFE, I turned off a movie (30/40 mins in).

    Having sex with the infant-powered body of a suicide victim, reincarnate…

    Utter Tripe!

    Strange reasoning to me as her partner had no idea of this and she did not have a juvenile body or appearance.

    What was the story with the 2nd girl.

    Did Willem Defoe happen across a 2nd pregnant suicidal woman . Or is she just simple because her Brain was starved of oxygen when she died ,not because she has baby brain ?

    It was never specified, and it hardly matters, since the result was the same. She doesn't seem to be developing as quickly as Bella did, but the time scale is vague and a lot happens quickly towards the end.

    I just watched this over two evenings, since I felt I needed a break, so I resumed tonight at the start of the Paris segment. I wasn't sure if I wanted to carry on, but it was worth it in the end. I didn't read anything about the book before seeing this, but now I have, I really think I need to read it. It appears that the movie only tells one side of the story, and our narrator is unreliable.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
