I Don't Get The Hype -- 13 Academy Award nominations? Really?

Rating: 5/10 (20 February 2018)

I really wanted to like this. I tried to like it. I like everyone in it and associated with it very much. I just couldn't. I was lured in by the amount of Academy Award nominations it received. The acting was decent. The rest was just very basic and very weird. It was a very, very basic plot with an enormous amount of symbolism. If you didn't get the symbolism, you didn't really get the movie. Did you get it?
Just not my type of show. I understand most movies. I had to have the symbolism explained. When I have to have that kind of stuff explained to try to make me like it more, you have already lost my interest. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't very good. Certainly not worthy of 13 Academy Award nominations. The movie industry is in real trouble if this is the best they can come up with. Most other years, this would not get a second look, much less a nomination. As much as I love everyone involved in this project, I didn't see a single winner.
