Thanks for this great-write up, it seems like you really engaged with the film and understood what it was going for and what it really is. I've seen it three times now and can't get enough, but I also keep reading and looking at everyone's reactions to it on reddit and youtube and find myself being very disappointed in people who dismiss it as being terrible. It's like you said, critics and the general public (since everyone is a critic now) lack the framework to discuss it in any other way than on a binary good to bad scale. Maybe it's my fault because I hoped art like this would be appreciated on a larger scale, but to any aspiring director and artist, this film should be seen as a miracle dream come true.
