It’s the kind of movie where I can understand “I vibe with it” as sufficient explanation for a very high rating.

I guess I do? I dunno, I feel like this movie was a sort of jam session, starting from the core idea of “existential anxiety” and just riffing from there. I was picking up every beat it was putting down, and I loved it. Uncomfortable, but in a really fun and jazzy and creative way.

I have a gut impulse to treat its indifference to whether I like it or not as a quality worthy of respect, but I don’t know why I have that gut impulse. That should actually make me hate it more.
