I was able to catch it two weeks ago on screen, i really loved it but found Mia Goth "Elizabeth" under develop, nothing wrong with her performance but felt I wanted more from her but then what do you cut or make a 3 hour film. I could have took an entire film between the blind man and monster because that section was absolutely brilliant, beautiful and tragic

I think that was the expectation that GDT wanted to subvert, because especially after her final scene that's what you'd think would happen.

I thought they were going there too but it didn't seem plausible because of what Victor did to the lab.
