Ao longo dos anos, o processo de cura seguiu em passos irregulares: recaídas, lembranças que afloravam sem aviso, terapia que ensinava a nomear o que aconteceu. Havia dias em que a cidade — antes cúmplice pelo silêncio — parecia conspirar para lembrar o episódio, e outros em que pequenas rotinas devolviam a sensação de controle: aprender a cozinhar, estudar à luz do abajur, escrever no caderno que um dia fora só de desenhos.

This psychoanalytic framework, however, is handled with a lack of subtlety that one critic described as "Freud versus Boca do Lixo". The film reduces complex psychological concepts to a sensationalist plot device, ultimately serving the film's primary goal of showing its star in erotic situations.

Viewers have highlighted the movie’s quasi-surrealist visual choices, including highly bizarre and disturbing sequences.
