57:43 Oof. The moment I saw "aconitine", I facepalmed. Why aconitine, and not a heavy duty opiate? Aconitine has similar uses, it's an analgesic and can halt respiratory functions, but also like opiates, it's a massive emetic, aka it makes you barf. But opiates have a euphoric effect and make you sleepy, which in this case would have been a much better option than something that becomes a VERY toxic poison in moderate to high doses. I know, I'm questioning a false narrative, but this was just like injecting an angry bear with adrenaline. It was the worst possible option, all things considered. I just hope they didn't kill the poor thing. Look at me, getting worked up over a fictitious macroorganism.
Is it bad that as a zoologist, I'm legitimately sad that this thing isn't real? I want to study those allegedly tasty copepods. Gives new meaning to the term "gastropod". Nyuk nyuk.

@stickshiftstarship I don't think it's about abuse. I think too many people look for shallow meanings in works like this, without thinking that it's likely not that black and white. You just see parents, scary things, and the girl saying "I don't want to talk about mom", and jump to the most obvious, surface level solution you can think of.
I don't think it's about parental abuse. I believe film is about what the world looks like at night to a child having a nightmare. Familiar things look foreign in the dark, and to a child's mind, imagination and reality overlap a great deal.
This movie takes us adults right back to that uncanny, indescribable fear we felt as children, staring into the umbrae of the shadows cast upon the objects in our room and seeing monsters within the nebulous shapes within.
That's why the ending shows a repetitive scary thing (I had a lot of recurring nightmares as a kid, I bet you did, too) then a door playing heavenly music (your parent coming in to check on you if you were crying), then a face on the dark telling you to go back to sleep.
It seems pretty obvious, at least to me, that the film represents a child's nightmare.
