I saw this film up in Cambridge, with a sophisticated crowd and more than half the audience walked out.
I am all for narrative complexity, but pretentiousness and complexity for the sake of complexity is artificial and pompous.
I think the only people who like this film are self conscious lowbrow audience that simply assumes its convolution has some meaning that escaped them, or that throwing in disjointed and out of place ad frankly random surreal elements is somehow a good onto itself.
In the end, despite recruitment of solid acting talent, this is just an amazingly bad film.
