Watched this well before the Oscars and knew within the first 5 minutes that I wasn’t going to like it or, at the very least, wasn’t going to appreciate it. Throwing first-person at me, blurry focus, extreme closeups, and Dutch angles, was all just too much. I didn’t feel like I was in their shoes, which I believe was the intent of this directorial style. But rather felt overwhelmed at times, confused in some places, and bored at other times.…

If this wins any Oscar’s other than Best Makeup and Hairstyling, I may cancel all my movie memberships. I’m glad people liked it (love what you love), but for me, what a letdown.
