Bardo

The merits of Bardo are in its exploration of meta realism and its arduous yet adventurous take on surrealistic expressions of art. Furthermore, the distinctive pictorial palette intensifies the same concept and spreads Iñárritu's perspective on his life, his past, and on his conscience.

However, whenever he tried to deviate from his main course of fulfilling its responsibilities as a semi-autobiography, a drama whose sole goal is to exhibit meta conscience, he seemed to have lost his grip, his control on the rhythm as well as on the accumulated momentum. The exposition-heavy discourses in the middle did not seem to provide any assistance either.

Having said that, this is specifically catered for the fans of the niche genre, who appreciate such oddities, such bizarre yet tantalising visions of a filmmaker in the form of an tangible art, in the shape of a motion picture, and I am confident they will cherish this experience.
