Excision : So…..what's the takeaway?

What are we supposed to glean from this movie? What's the moral? That teens showing disturbing signs should get clinical help right away? Or?

I'm not sure there is a 'takeaway' or why, indeed, there has to be one. I simply took the story on face value. An obviously odd teenage girl from a dysfunctional family veering toward an appalling conclusion.

It just seemed with the heavy visuals that there was some hidden meaning or symbolism to the movie, that I'm not getting. But maybe it just was just a disturbing slice of life movie. :)

I think that's just it - an original fresh horror movie that appealed to more than jure gore fans.

My xfinity blurb on this movie was that it was a coming of age story - lolwhich is true actually in a way.

Very similar in feel to May for me. Just a study of a social outcast, and how they go through life. It's very interesting.

If you have a weird kid, explain that one requires a heart/lung bypass machine before one can even begin to think about the likelihood of a DIY lung transplant surgery being successful?

That's what I got from it, at least.
