I thought this was gonna be another movie, in which the woman is a Saint and the man is the Antichrist. There are hundreds of movies like this, in the last years, pure misandric. As a man, i know that there is a very high percentage of bad, even dangerous men. I know also that both sexes are flawed and there are not many Saints : Most of us are just humans.

I am glad it wasn't. There are no heroes and villains here, even though both of the leading characters are equally flawed and they keep harming or trying to manipulate each other, until something is happening during the last minutes (I'll spare the details of course, in order to avoid the spoliers).

So, i liked this movie. When the "MacGuffin" is taking place, it becomes unexpectedly anxiety-inducing. Some people won't find it interesting, maybe they're gonna dislike both the leading characters. Indeed, these characters are not likeable but they were interesting and fun to watch.

What is this movie? There are Ruben Östlund/Francois Ozon vibes. It reminded me also of two other movies : 1) Lemming (Dominik Moll) and 2) La moustache (Emmanuel Carrère). Weirdness and Absurdity but it doesn't get much dark like the previous movies. Hypnosen is more lighthearted and funny. By no means this is a great movie. It's flawed, a bit messy and confusing and i am not really sure that the creators knew exactly what they were doing.

But overall, this is enjoyable and the ending was very good. Maybe the whole movie should have been less chaotic, or i don't know, the opposite and they should go full insanity. I liked the fact that they try something different, not the most original outcome but at least, they were creative.

If you haven't watched this movie, probably my review doesn't make much sense and it's not very helpful. In any case, this is a good comedy/drama (Kafkaesque? Fantasy?) and if you're looking for something different and not easy to categorize, you'll probably enjoy it too.
