Strong character development: No

Motheater has a “screw the corporations” (kind of?) vibe and some really striking imagery, but the storyline left me pretty confused. The plot is fragmented and abstract, with characters and events that feel more symbolic than grounded. I get that it’s supposed to be unsettling, but I kept feeling like I was missing key pieces. It didn’t quite click for me, and unfortunately the romantic aspect felt really lack luster.
