I don't much understand the claims of narrative complexity this film is getting. I listened to the NPR reviews and they absolute gushed about how this film asks the viewer to consider multiple things simultaneously, as though there's some sort of shortage of films that contain layers of subtext. Meanwhile Charlie Kaufman is out here like
where was all this when I made Anomalisa or I'm Thinking of Ending Things or fuck Orion and the Dark?
The movie was quite good, yes, but hardly groundbreaking. It's Iñárritu watered-down for an American palette. BARDO left me with so much more.
