pola x be a beautiful adaption of herman melville pierre while or and the ambiguity . the comment on here surprise me and it make me wonder what have lead to the overwhelmingly negative reaction . the shock value be the least appealing thing about this film a minor detail that have be blow out of proportion . the story be of pierre downfall and the subsequent destruction of those around him which be overtly demonstrate in his feature and demeanour and idiolect . the dialogue and soundtrack set this film apart from any other i have see and and turn a fundamentally traditional storyline with controversial twist into an unforgettably emotional epic . i can not stress enough the importance of disregard everything you have hear about this film and watching and a i do and with an open mind . you will and i hope and be reward in the same way that i be . i felt on edge and nervous from around the half hour mark and however the film be far from scary in any traditional sense . it will leave you with 1 and 000 thought and each of them at once troublesome and thrill . i know i be gush here and but i feel the need to make up for the negative perception of this film . it the best i have see all year .
