Love or hate? There seems no in-between.

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2015)

Let's focus on what was good:
* The cinematography * The makeup * The individual story lines * Some (but not all) of the acting
Now, what was lacking?
* Cohesive storytelling.
My wife and I watched this, and while there is a lot to like - the six individual stories are compelling, the acting diversity from the principal cast, the soundtrack, the production values... but in my opinion, any three hour movie that leaves you with more questions than answers is going to be unsatisfying. There are no clear correlations, and the visual/auditory cues that bring the disparate stories together are easily missed.
If you're ready to pay attention - and I mean diligent attention - for three hours, go for it. If you're looking for casual entertainment, this isn't it. Sometimes a movie suffers from multiple plot lines, and I think that's the problem here: there's a lot to keep track of, and for me it was not worth the effort. That said, I'm glad I watched it, but I won't do it again.
