Righto, found myself at a loose end, and despite Wazza's indications above, I persevered and saw it through to the end.
Yes, it is weird, possibly weirder than Asteroid City, but in a good way. And yes, Stone is constantly being reamed, or at least orally pleasured by a fellow Parisian whore.
Visually stunning, with the subtle steampunk influence offset by her quirky signature wardrobe that mirrors her character development. Fisheye and wide angle lenses interspersed with a voyeuristic pinhole look that I am still trying to work out (Initially I thought it was the PoV of one of the creatures, but it is used throughout).
Whilst I am unfamiliar with the source material, I tend to agree with the assertion by others that the titular "things" are indeed the many male suitors that are ironically stuck with a horned up baby brain through out, whilst Bella evolves into a genius medical exponent and able to continues 'Gods' work.
Also, Ruffalo almost shakes off the David Banner thing to be come, as he frrequently esposes of Bella, a right cunt.
