I get that it was, in retrospective, set up by the movie (Red is the only one that can talk, Adelaide not being able to initially talk).

But, I don't think it added much and it felt cheap to me. It's not explained why Red was the only one to...wait for it...get out.
Plenty of folks went into that house of mirrors, why didn't one of their dopplegangers come up.

The whole sharing of a soul thing was a bit silly.

I don't think it was a bad movie. I certainly was interested as I was watching it, which means to me a movie has done it's job if it does that...but not sure I would remotely categorize it as "amazing" as the OP did. Worth watching, and perhaps thought-provoking to some extent...but still flawed.

I think the second half of the movie dives into allegorical fantasy horror. forgotmylogin Mar 2019 #14
