A strange story with Brie Larson receiving an invitation to enter a world that could restore her childhood dreams. While completely odd, I think this is really an exploration of the millennial mindset, where people are not living lives they anticipated, are not feeling fulfilled, and really don't have the emotional skillset to begin to know how to navigate either a life of disappointment, or make the decisions to change the trajectory of their lives. So Larson (as Kit) is offered, and she pursues, an allegorical journey into fantasy land. Somehow along the way she begins to build the identity needed to cope in the modern world. I really am not sure about the message of this film, and while not nearly as strange, the message of existential struggle parallels that of Sorry to Bother You in subtle ways. I guess it is either too weird or too subtle or too soon for me to know yet if it is good.
