Terrible, pointless, confusing, pretentious. WTF of the highest order.

Rating: 1/10 (19 December 2017)

First a disclaimer. I didn't finish watching this. I made it about 3/4 of the way before tapping out. I just couldn't do it. I did later read a full review in case I was wrong. I did not.
I haven't seen the Emjoi movie but I feel like I would have enjoyed that more. (Not really but I'm struggling to find something to compare this to in terms of terribleness).
Though I suspect that you'll really enjoy it if you have a high enough level of pretentiousness.
It's a bizarre movie that makes little to no sense. To be clear I enjoy the occasional bizarre movie. There is the kind of bizarre you might enjoy and then there is this horribleness.
I stuck with it because it felt like there might be an explanation for the confusion but then they just dialled up the confusion. It always felt like there was something coming that might make sense. It was frustrating that it never did.
I've seen bad movies before but never have I felt so robbed of time in my life.
I see other reviewers here and on other sites going on about how it's art and other such rubbish. It's not.
As for the enlightened few who find this amazing and consider us cretins for not getting it... I suspect they're the same people who pretend to love this kind of drivel in an attempt to come across as intelligent and arty. All the while not really getting it as much as everyone else.
I've quite liked a few of Darren Aronofsky's films but this is inexcusable. Perhaps give him a suspension from making films for a few months until he learns his lesson.
Bad Darren Aronofsky. That's naughty.
