If I could review this movie based purely on style, I would give it a perfect 10. Yes, the cinematography is quite amazing. There are details that I imagine would jump out at you the more times you watched the film. There seems to be two ways of looking at this movie: a work of art, or a work desperately needing to be art.
I fall into the latter way of thinking. Every scene in this movie cried out desperately to be recognized as a work of art. I found myself laughing at scenes I knew were meant to be dramatic, and frowning at the so-called humour. Maybe I didn't get it. I doubt the writers/director want you to get it.
But I have to admit, I can't stop trying to understand what it was I didn't pick up on...
