I guess I understand why and it is also on my own a little bit for just not being into it, but the visuals here are not good to me. They are oversaturated, filled with unfiltered stimuli, and above all they are, consequently, completely devoid of emotional gravity. It seems like a constant search for the mesmerizing without a basic understanding of what makes visuals mesmerizing, the emotional reward behind it.

And it is also bad because it fatally damages the rest of the film; the characters and the story are all subjected to this exhausting logic of aesthetic climaxes without buildups one after another, and so they feel equally lifeless. A pity, because the premise is good and because it lets something permeate in the very few moments it is quiet enough to pay attention to its own potential. The end credits are a lot more of how I'd like this film to be than how it ended up being.
