I found it to be tiresome, repetitive and pointless. The acting and cinematography were great but I guess it’s just not for me.

Same. I love the directors previous work but nothing connected with me. It was very repetative until the last third or so.

Most of the movie is basically:
"Why don't you wanna be friends?"
"I don't wanna be. I'm warning you stay away!"

And then it shows how lonely people are. The subplots didn't interest me either. I had no emotions during the movie at all, which is a shame.

It is well made and well acted, but it left me cold.

Same. I found my mind wandering away from the film a lot. The creepy old lady was super cool though

Funny that. Tiresome, repetitive and pointless sounds a lot like what living on an island off the west coast of Ireland in the 1920s would feel like.

My father was born in western Ireland in the 1920s and I have been there many times, so I do have some understanding of the culture - and those aspects were well characterized. I guess if I want to watch something about life on an Irish island I will stick with Father Ted - rather than this film…
