Surprise how many people are not getting it.

I must tag along with other reviewers that are calling attention for the low rating of this movie. This is a great movie, whose average rating should be around 7.2/ 7.4. It's unfortunate that even so-called experts critics are not getting it. There is no science fiction at all...!! so stop complaining about the complexities of not understanding which world is real, and which is not, and whether there any scientific basis for Isabel convoluted explanations. It's a simple but artistically filmed story of one man who becomes an addict (there is no need to go for that story, but be sure his mind has not been in a good place for some long time). That man has found a woman with her own mental and addiction issues, who also happens to have a more lively imagination and stronger personality. Estranged from their families, they struggle, and find solace in tripping and escaping to an orderly, peaceful, beautiful place, which they called and would love to be the real world; the addict alternate reality. The trick is that once you realize that they are both creating their own world, you have the director permission to imagine what is the reality behind all of this, including what might really happened when they use their so-called superpowers. Lovely finish; one that many who had similar family struggles can relate to, while others may be living with the hope for, at least, a late arrival of their own flowers.
