Pretentious and self-indulgent

Rating: 5/10 (19 July 2019)

I went into this film deliberately not having read reviews. I wanted to experience it without preconceived opinions. I enjoyed it to a degree. It was watchable, even though it was too long. It was also pretentious, self-indulgent and lacking a sustained coherent story. In short, it was all over the place. It certainly spread itself across genres. Unfortunately, it failed to do adequate justice to any one of them. It was a weak horror, a weak comedy, a weak romance and a weak tragedy. After two and a half hours I expected the film to wrap things up. I left the cinema mystified as to what I had watched.
