Enjoyed it, even though the ratings are not really great. It is just a normal Jesse Eisenberg movie, being something weird is going to happen.

Amazing. A very original scenario, perfectly executed until the end. It all makes sense, but still leaves a lot of open questions for your imagination.

The main actors are ok, they do the job, but the supporting ones are amazing. The whole beginning sequence with Martin is so weird and hilarious, a perfect intro into the movie. The kid is also creepy as fuck, with a little help from voice over he's just perfect.

The design of the house is also the perfect fit of trying to create something ideal but with no understanding of how things are supposed to be, the whole thing is uncanny valley to the max, just as much as Martin is.

And the whole situation raises lots of questions, what's the correct behavior ? It's rapidly obvious that [spoiler]the kid is not human[/spoiler], so what do you do ? Can you trust them ? Are you sure you'll be released ? Are you helping [spoiler]an alien invasion[/spoiler] or something like that ? Should you not stop it ? Or maybe the other way around, if you manage to raise the kid normally, with love and everything, there's a chance it would end up being a good thing ?
What if you [spoiler]killed it[/spoiler] ? So many other scenarios to try other than the one chosen by the characters.

Do everybody behave the same way ? [spoiler]Does everybody dig their own grave ?[/spoiler] How many instances ? How many time did this happen ?

So yeah, not only is this a very original, complete and captivating story, the whole concept is just genious and leave so many other possibilities to think about when the movie ends. It's new, it's weird, it's fun. Definitely a masterpiece.

perfectly weird.
visually pleasing.
psychologically engaging.
had me thinking about the meaning of life afterword.
excellent commentary on family social structure and the war between our social needs and our physical biological needs as people. stellar performances by all actors included.

From the beggining to the end, WHAT THE ACTUAL F#CK!

Just a complete mindfuck from the start to the end

How you interpret this movie goes a long way. Personally I loved it but I see where the bad reviews come from. Its mysterious and pretty creepy and it makes your mind go wild during the film. Definitely worth a watch if you're willing to think about it with an open mind.

What a creepy strange fun ride

8/10
Great
I was pleasantly surprised
With this one as I'm
not a fan at all of both
the main leads.
But the story and their
Performances sold it
to me and in the end
won me over.
Could it have been better
Yes, especially with a cool
Concept like that.
Was it a waste of my time
No....it was not.
I'm a sucker for these
Types of stories and I
thought this one was
So bloody interesting
and mysterious,
not really seen this
Type of scenario before
so kudos for uniqueness.
Verdict: Mind Fcuk
In A Good Way.

.... it felt like a very long episode of the twilight zone :)

Most people won't understand this film unless they realise the poignant meaning of the cuckoo bird at the beginning!!
Nice touch with all the greenery as well.. If that's not another clue then I don't know what else could have been done to jog peoples minds lol.
Very cleverly done I must say ;-)
