For people who don't like this movie and bail early: This was made in a time when you can't pause or leave. It's meant to be "bad" to an uncomfortable degree before it begins to make its point(s).

A girl withdraws into her imagination to numb herself from abuse.

Quite a good movie, that's made even better because average people were confused by it. This movie has a whole bunch of strange tags which all make sense if you think about it. You probably don't want to think too hard about it, because it'll hurt your heart.
