The director is just trying to be smarter than the rest of us

Rating: 2/10 (21 February 2017)

If the communication of the concept and the story were cohesive, the director would not have had to obscure it with noise and a loud music track. Think of a conversation in club music. No one has to be articulate because no one can hear. If he wants us to think he is a genius, he could do a clearer job of it. Think of the star who speaks with a British accent even if born in New Jersey. The point becomes affectation instead of film making. It is a bit like when we all grokked stuff without even knowing what that term really meant. We were brilliant enough to understand things simply by saying we understood them intuitively. Of course, we really did not understand them, or we could have been articulate about it. Ditto this film.
