I saw this one in theaters about a month ago and my main takeaway was that while the weirdness of the film was interesting and visually beautiful, that weirdness kind of got in the way of whatever point it was trying to make, and ultimately it came across as a bit of a muddled mess. I don't mind films getting weird so long as they serve a purpose to the story its trying to tell or is thought provoking in some way, and I can't say that the weird stuff that happens here really accomplished that in my view. It doesn't help that this film was just way too long for what it was trying to be. I try not to be a clock watcher while in the theater, but this film kept making me wonder how much more there was
