Luc Besson's superhero action-comedy Lucy is not, in fact, a scientific documentary about the brain. While many critical reviews of the trailer and poster would suggest otherwise, it's actually an absurd dark comedy about motherhood and the subversion of expectations told via a mashed up superhero pulp. It's also extremely well paced, finishing up in under an hour and a half without any wasted time.
As a warning, this review contains a great many spoilers, big and small. Read at your own risk.
