FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT REDEMPTION. A SHOCKING new film is GLORIFYING drug abuse, familial betrayal, and utter chaos as a “path to art.” “The Chronology of Water” isn’t just a movie—it’s a DANGEROUS blueprint for destruction, masquerading as highbrow cinema. The film follows Lidia, a woman who SPITS on her father’s grave only to spiral into a cesspool of addiction, wrecking lives and abandoning her own child, all while being CELEBRATED as a literary genius. This isn’t a story of survival; it’s a MANIFESTO for narcissism.
The movie’s DISTURBING message is clear: trauma isn’t something to heal from, but a commodity to be exploited for fame. Lidia’s neglect and cruelty are FRAMED as necessary fuel for her writing, with Hollywood A-listers like Jim Belushi anointing her as a talent. The film BRUTALLY suggests that destroying families and leaving a trail of broken hearts is a FAIR PRICE for a bestselling memoir. It’s a morally BANKRUPT fantasy that tells every damaged soul that the worst thing you can do is get help—better to channel your pain into a lucrative book deal.
Even more ALARMING is the film’s avant-garde style, which purposely DISORIENTS the viewer to mimic Lidia’s fractured psyche. This isn’t artistry; it’s a MANIPULATION tactic designed to silence criticism and FORCE audiences to empathize with a monster. By chopping the narrative into “lyrical” fragments, the director CONCEALS the ugly, linear consequences of Lidia’s actions, presenting her eventual stability not as hard-won peace, but as a PREDESTINED ending she always deserved.
This film is a CULTURAL CANCER, suggesting that true art is born not from discipline or love, but from exploiting your own pain and the suffering you inflict on others. It turns a reparative act like writing into a tool for SELF-MYTHOLOGY, allowing the artist to rewrite history as a glorious, destined tragedy. In the end, “The Chronology of Water” doesn’t just depict a life—it dares to ask a HARROWING question: what if saving yourself means drowning everyone else? The answer will leave you questioning the very foundation of our stories.
