Final Feedbacks:

So many ups and downs! In terms of traditional structure this one does not follow much. I called points 09-12-14 Belly of the Whale because of a lack of terms to name them. This is a hard question for me to answer in this movie.
After the first half of the film (point 4) it seems that Jane becomes the protagonist.The hero role gets upside down. 
It seems to me that the goal of Stephen is to prove his theory and make Jane happy. The first aim gets lost during the second act when Jane get's in the spotlight.
