This movie is a discovery. Sometimes there is such a movie that is not easy to digest and you must watch again or discuss with your friends. It started out like a simple rom com around the lovely Anne Hathaway and flat goofy character Jason Sudeikis. Jason is still living in the place where they both grew up and at first it seems like your normal girl gets back to her sleepy home town and falls in love etcetera.I must say I was losing a little bit of interest at that time but then the movie changed pace and it capativated me totally. Well done Nacho Vigalondo! All characters grew in depth, Jason in particular. It is a movie about control actually. Control of yourself and others. Anne is out of control as her former boyfriend and herself say. She has no control over her alcohol use and behavior and Jason deals next to the same alcohol problem with serious anger and self issues. Such types as Jason has friends like the quiet and simple Austin Stowell and akward and always great playing Tim Blake Nelson with secrets all of his own.The bar he owns has a hidden back part which is not in use anymore and where he and his friends get drunk in. Anne opens this back part and all of this is of course a lovely metaphor for his life. There he changes drastically towards controlling everyone around him in a very abusing way. He is destroying the bar and himself with it. The swimmingpool scene with all those leaves is great by the way. Anne on the other hand is trying to take control back in her own hands and that control stuggle between all actors is very well done I think.People who just came for a comedy with monsters please go away. It is not about the monster in Korea, but in yourself. Everyone who understands and loves the underlying theme and character development, please watch movies with me!

Very few movies are interesting to me anymore. This movie kept me interested for not only the sci-fi aspect, but also what the main character did in her "real" life. The combination of recovering alcohol and sci-fi is definitely odd and somewhat arbitrary, but the way its put together is interesting and entertaining. The other nice aspect is that the acting is pretty good. The plot itself has no deeper meaning in my estimation, but that's fine. Its still good entertainment.

Kind of unexpected this movie. Thought it would be something else entirely. But I actually like it. Wonderfully weird. Unexpected build of of suspense. Love the jealous guy. Funny enough (kind of) believable story the way it is acted. Which is quite a accomplishment I think. The silent guy is a sissy. ;)

Seems every down on their luck person in the movies has a friend who can employ them!I wonder if that is Anne's personal laptop?I know something you could do... but that'd be morbid?Isn't the translator going to know?Drinking on the job? Not a good look for a bartender... Anyone actually, baring you're a sommelier.A number of things going on here. Not sure which are related to one another.What is up with his buddy?That was unexpected.Wow! This is dark now.Even creepier when you add pool leaves.Those people in the background just eating as per usual :)Points for unusual premise, but I forced myself to watch this after awhile, and I was disappointed, but boy does it get interesting.
