Insanely clever.
If there was ever a film that exemplified a thriller this would definitely be in the top ten. The plot twists are ingrained within every turn of the film. It challenges the very core of storytelling, cheating you right till the very end. It makes you believe that we're following the 'villain' of the film, and how weird it is to be on the other side of the narrative, but then it completely flips and you're left questioning what the restraints or tropes (can't think of the word >_< ) of the story are, until you realise, there aren't any.
The details are so intricate as well. As intricate as makeup. Unlike most Hollywood films it's genuinely realistic, raw. Emily Blunt was fucking masterful. Her character was so detailed, right down to her eyeliner.
of course there are flaws. But there are alway flaws.

In a Sentence: Mental, twisted, incredible fun.
