Can filmmakers and audiences stop perpetuating the very often false notion that just because something is different, shocking, or controversial that it's automatically good? Was this movie different? Yes. Was this movie shocking/disturbing? At times. Was this movie interesting? Almost never. Was this movie pretentious? Insufferably so
And for all the smug people who say the only reason someone didn't enjoy this movie is because they're too low-brow or unintelligent to appreciate it, get over yourselves. I could film my washing machine cleaning a load of laundry with a fisheye lens and strobe lights flashing for two hours and make the same argument that anyone who doesn't view it as transcendental artistic genius is just too shallow or dumb to understand it, when the reality is that, like this movie, it'd just be an occasionally interesting but mostly boring, albeit "unique" and "different", waste of time.
