This film gets wet from all sorts of things.

With delightfully unhinged capability behind the camera, the final edit (emphasis on 'edit') of Piercing is a bizarre troupe of oddballs about human connection and how fear can go with it. It's a post-production fiesta, offering us some incredible sound design, some great split-screen use and a boatload of striking imagery.
Gag Reflexes and Gritted Teeth are what this movie gave me, and these two leading stars had a lot to do with that. Christopher Abbot is so good at playing eccentricity; this almost feels like a continuation of his role in Sweet Virginia (which is a good thing of course)...but, Mia Wasikowska is the real star here - she's wonderful.

Admittedly, nothing blew me away; I was neither electrified or energized even if I think I was supposed to be, and the abrupt ending didn't do much for me...but I can completely understand someone falling head over heels for this.
I will certainly be watching The Eyes of My Mother soon, because I think I really like Pesce's style.
The film is like Pretty Woman but fired up and walloped on meth! You can do all sorts to a story when you have a creative mind and a camera.
(although it was based off a Japanese novel, which explains the gross absurdity I guess)
