Wetlands was an impressive movie. I don't usually fall for foreign films, but this one takes the cake!Helen is an angsty girl who has absolutely disgusting habits she flaunts very openly. Centered around a shaving accident, the film takes place in a hospital while visiting the near past and the far past of childhood. Helen is such a complex character. She's probably suffering from PTSD after a traumatic fins as a child and just doesn't let herself visit why. She is very eccentric and bold with her sexual adventures which makes for a wild ride in itself. I don't want to give away TOO many spoilers but this movie is not for those affected by male and female nudity or bodily functions. While it sounds and reads like a Divine movie, it's truly not as bad as it seems. The ending is rewarding and you find yourself rooting for Helen and her future happiness. Don't skip on the credits! There's a small "update" montage that gives more cheer to her life.

This is without a doubt the most disgusting film I've ever seen. The number of scenes in the movie that make you go "OMG" are probably not countable on one or even two hands.However, the disgusting parts are never there just to arouse disgust. It is all done with a certain amount of grace and balance, by the director but by the main actress as well. I found myself having a good laugh a large number of times.The main actress by the way is truly awesome, beautiful and appealing, and totally fit for the part.There is enough of a storyline to make the movie interesting besides the focus on sex and filthy things.I really totally recommend seeing this movie.

I am a student and admirer of the works Antoine Artaud and am very pleased to see a movie breathing the spirit of my second favorite insane Frenchman. This movie is aimed at the idiots who think they have to bear children. The body fluids and bleeding assholes are metaphors for what happens in the minds of children of infantile parents. I'm not big on symbolism in movies, but this thing a Bosch puzzle, it just goes on an on.. Four guys jerking off in a pizza, I think it's brilliant, think about it, what do these parents feed their kids spiritually? Crap topped with crap. It is no wonder says she has had herself sterilized because she doesn't want any kids. The sad and also - in a perverted way - beauty of the end is that, life repeats itself. The asshole represents the circle of life. This is what Fassbinder would make if he would be alive. Have you paid attention to the face lines of this woman? It's very similar to Fassbinder's heroins. Life is good in Germany, you can tell by movies like this. No freedom for an honest movie here in the US.

My boyfriend and I saw that this movie was playing at a local theater a few weeks ago then ended up on one of our online movie services. The premise is interesting but the thing is I see that about every legit movie that explores women's sexuality in an intimate way ends up with a "women be crazy" bent. Well, I would type out the word beginning with B, but I won't. At most, this film is a punk rock gross out exercise that tries to find inner meaning, but falls flat. I have to say in its defense, it is an unique movie and even hardened art house movie fans who think they have seen it all can find something special here. By the time the lead character ripped herself open again, I guess for love, I wondered, "Why was this movie made?" I would like to see a movie with a similar theme without the female insanity. I wholeheartedly wonder if men think women are actually like this. The pizza scene too, made me laugh because it was over the top and so unnecessary but a bit funny. A few sexual fantasies and a ripped anal fissure and you can be on your way to love too, maybe.
