I honestly hated this movie

Rating: 1/10 (4 October 2018)

I watched this movie because of all the superlative reviews and afterwards felt like I had been punked. It was like some kind of inside joke that no one could to explain to me. I think it must have been made for film students and people in the entertainment industry, not for the general public. It seemed like just a rambling stream of consciousness full of magical realism and unexplained symbolism. Yes, the special effects were excellent, but it didn't feel like a coherent story, and there didn't seem to be any point to it. To this day, no one has explained to me what it is they like about this movie. I mean specifics, not just "because it's a masterpiece". If this emperor has any clothes on, I don't see them.
