This was 2 hours of my life I will never get back. I regret every second I watched. I thought I was watching the other "Split" for the first 45 minutes and realized I was watching this. Watched the rest through and I hated every single second. Holy cow was this truly awful.
Plot below: Inanna (Amy Ferguson) joins an experimental theater group that works on the Mesopotamian myth of Inanna, and more specifically on the liberation of enslaved women. After a few rehearsals, she comes to the conclusion that she does not possess the primal rage and the raw longing for freedom that the other women in the play possess. In a most upsetting scene, these women tell how they have been victims of extreme (sexualized) violence. At the same time, Inanna falls head over heels in love with Derek, a mask maker (Morgan Spector), and marries him. Right from the start, she adapts her life to his, while he refuses to change anything in his own life. He doesn't even stop the affair he had with his assistant (Antonia Campbell-Hughes), claiming that she was there first. Inanna soon realizes that she is losing her identity while getting nothing in return. Profoundly wounded and feeling like drowning, she is now able to express the primal rage and the raw longing for freedom that the play requires from her.
