Objectively, I don't see how anyone could rate this much higher than a 7 or 8. It could perhaps even be a 4 or 5. There is much that is left to the viewer, but it had quite a few poor elements.
In summary, if you have plenty of time, don't mind a film that wastes time purely for 'artistry', like a film that leaves you with more questions than answers, then give this a go. Otherwise, enter with caution.
The film is deliberately vague and inconclusive, instead leaving the viewer to interpret events and meaning, including its ending. Character interactions are rather odd. I think this is perhaps deliberate, but for the first hour the main character is just odd and of little interest.
In fact, the first hour or so is what ruins the film. It is very long, slow and mostly unnecessary. We could get all the information and meaning we need from it in about 20 minutes. Instead it's drawn out across over an hour, filled with things that seem possibly significant, but are later completely forgotten and which have no apparent relevance to the rest of the story.
With better editing, this could have been a solid 8+, but it just wastes time and tries too hard to be arty and mysterious.
