This movie is conflicting.
I love the body horror,concept of this world and just the weirdness of it all.
The main character could've been fleshed out better but i still think he's good.
The rest of this movie is so mindboggingly all over the place that i can't really point it out whats good or bad.
I do think the good weights out the bad but its the weirdest cronenberg movie i have seen yet,not just because of whats in it but also the quality.

Overview
With his partner, a celebrity performance artist publicly showcases the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. An investigator from the National Organ Registry obsessively tracks their movements, which is when a mysterious group is revealed... Their mission — to use the artist's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sickly fascination with the grotesque made beautiful, this is Cronenberg at his most clinical and philosophical, asking what transformation means when the body itself becomes the medium. It's less a thriller than a fever dream that pulls you into its humid, decaying world.
