The hardest part about watching this movie was trying to figure out why I was watching it. At the end, I had to look up interpretations, which I think took a lot of the magic and reflection out of what a movie should be. I wish it would've been a little less abstract, for those of us who watched it independently from the book, and aren't abstract minded enough to pull meaning out of thin air.

Other than not knowing what the hell was happening, the acting was phenomenal, and so was the dialogue. Now off to the library to try to get something useful out of this story.

Maybe 2 plot points are actually explained in this entire movie: we were so confused the whole time, and all the suspense we wanted to feel was just frustration because we couldn't follow the plot. Every potentially cool detail was completely lost in a pointless void. We couldn't cheer for the good side or hate the bad side because we were like "wait is that a cow?" And the end could not possibly move any slower or provide less closure.
