What...?

Rating: 5/10 (2 October 2018)

I'm either a dumb person who cannot dissect the subtext of an artsy film, or this is just an artsy film that one must simply "get", like a blank white canvas being masqueraded as art- YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MAN. THE NEGATIVE SPACE REPRESENTS THE EMPTINESS WE ALL FEEL IN OUR LIVES AND THE ARTISTS' INABILITY TO BRING HIMSELF TO BRING HIS BRUSH TO THE CANVAS.- No, it's simply a blank canvas.
This is what this movie evokes from me. All I see is an unnecessarily edited film with dialogue which I, quite frankly, could not stand. As the actors spoke I could not hang on to a single word they said. All made to look like it was shot in one take? Ooo. Edgy. Even the title is completely convoluted.
I may enjoy watching blockbuster and mainstream movies, but I also like mind warping movies too. I grew up watching movies like Brazil, Bladerunner and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I enjoy having my mind blown by movies which don't follow conventional story arcs like Memento. I've probably spent hundreds of hours watching videos on philosophy and psychology on Youtube. But this is where I draw the line with "art".
Maybe I am that dumb person who doesn't get the movie. Maybe not. I would really rather give this movie a 4/10, but a 5 will do just in case I'm in fact wrong. I, however, don't believe this to be the case.
