Okay, wow. IT WAS SO GOOD. The cinematography was particularly top-notch, as expected.
From what I've gathered, there are multiple metaphorical meanings weaved through the whole thing. But I interpreted it as a journey between the "two Florences" that she addressed in the Q&A -- Florence, the person, and Florence, the performer -- and the connection between the two personas. Upon the release of HBHBHB, she spoke a lot about being inspired by the turbulent years between Ceremonials and HBHBHB, addressing her feelings in a straightforward fashion, and breaking the barrier between her work and personal lives.
Florence in the red pants suit is performer Florence, while the other scenes are literal or metaphorical representations of the chaos around her and in her own mind. If you noticed, all of the scenes in which she is not wearing the red pants suit, she's in vulnerable, exposed, or rough situations. The turbulent relationship, the car accident, the out-of-control house party situation, and the storm are all happenings in her personal life. From my point of view, the car accident is where real life and professional life collide, and she crawls out of the accident with a new perspective. As she wanders from the scene of the crash towards the theater and sings HBHBHB and Mother a cappella, the rest of the music videos (minus Third Eye) are flashbacks from the past few years. (Of course, once again, those flashbacks aren't always literal. I think that some of them -- St. Jude especially -- have been tailored to represent how Florence was feeling on the inside during these times.) Metaphorically speaking, the crash represents the past few years as a whole and the wandering towards the theater can be translated to her process of digesting all of the past's events and turning them into the art that she can share and perform.
Just my two cents. Doesn't cover everything in the film, but gives a general feel for what I think it's about.

Got the RSD exclusive. The colour of the vinyl is absolutely spectacular, and in real life it looks nothing like the pic Flo posted.
On the A side is
Delilah Delilah (Demo) And the B side:
Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Live) -

Okay fam, gather around so we can talk about HOW DAMN GREAT MIDNIGHT MACHINES IS. I would have never guessed Up We Go could take such a turn. Follow You Down is absolutely beautiful and reminds me of Shania Twain in her prime for some reason? And the 45 seconds that she takes in Muscle Memory to bring the backing vocals from the bridge to the forefront are glorious.
I think Head Cold is the only duller moment on the album, but it's still pretty good.

here Carly talks about releasing a second part to E•MO•TION! I would love it!!!
I just seriously keep coming back to this album. I recently decided that it was my #3 album of last year and that's saying a lot because I loved and bought SO many new albums last year.

They can't be fanmade because Nightmusic filtered out right for me. I think the way she produced and mixed the tracks rendered some of vocal reverb on the instrumental tracks and some elements of the instrumental track in the a cappellas.
