I really adored Moll and Ariadne both, with one of my favorite scenes being the one where Ariadne's talking to her in Cobb's subconscious.

Same here. Actually, when Moll killed Ariadne, I actually thought she was doing it to help Ariadne, so she wouldn't experience much pain, like she would if the other projections got her.

I hated, really hated what he did to Moll- mind rape that led to her suicide. They even phrased it like a violation- he went to her 'secret place' and broke in. I didn't like how the film seemed to be telling me to feel sorry for him and his angst over it. To me, that was the major negative point of the film.


I can't really argue with that. Did you feel similarly about them planting the idea in that business man's head? Because I found both of those actions deeply problematic, but I felt that the movie was presenting them as Not Nice Things To Do, and I didn't have the visceral reaction you did, so it didn't adversely effect my appreciation/enjoyment of the film.
