" Director: Brady Corbet His 2nd movie My 1st movie watched from the director This movie starts off really strong and seems like it's going in an interesting direction... but doesn't. It ends up being lot of dialogue that's more annoying and derivative than interesting and enlightening, as I am sure the writer imagined it would be.

Naturally, this approach is enough to alienate a large portion of any potential audience if they are not inclined to consume a structure that almost seems purposely pretentious at times and genuinely, intensely philosophical at others. The film truly manages to walk a tightrope that gives it both scale and scope and the feeling of an art house film.
