I didn’t really like it in the end, nor did he.
Quasi-spoiler - he gets it in the end.
The director surprised me, with a screwing of the second half of the movie;
but it’s unique.
Watch the first 60% of the move, then fast forward and catch a minute or so every 10 minutes and watch from 1:25 to 1:30, then maybe the end.
Ironically reviewed by me.
