However, the themes do extend to dark areas such as Lucy's indifference to her sexual partner, having her decision made for her by the flip of a coin, and her debilitating drug use. Some men are doing this for their own personal, deeper reasons. His performance alone puts Lucy's job into question for the viewer. While there are perverted pigs like the second gentleman we see with Lucy in her sleeping state, we see softer men, like the first who has a soliloquy based on "The thirtieth year". This isn't even completely about the men in the film. If you look at it from her point of view, she lives a lifestyle already detrimental to her well-being, and she has no understanding of what goes on when she falls asleep, all she knows is that she gets paid. ![]() While the themes are sexually based, the message is more focused on the objectification of women and how Lucy is so completely unencumbered by her own encounters outside of the job. ![]() It isn't just pure titillation and the one-central plot point of Lucy becoming a Sleeping Beauty. I think this review in particular has missed the point of the film entirely. ![]()
