2.5 is the right score for me here. My head and eyes hurt after this. The story had some potential, but it got completely scrapped for the crazy finale. Very French. Very artsy. It needed about 10 minutes more I think for story purposes.
Artsy fartsy French stuff, not for me. Content warning: this seems specifically designed to trigger epileptic seizures.
It feels somewhat incomplete. I think the 1-hour running time is very tricky for films. But even though I think this is his second weakest film after Love, I'm glad I saw it. Noé always takes risks.
weird
