Normally I'd like movies like this that explore metaphors and analogies of capitalism and crisp criticisms of modern society in general, but I found this movie nearly unwatchable. It wasn't just the nasty gross-out segments, which I feel went way too far and took up far too much of the movie, but it was the meandering plot points that went nowhere, the unnervingly uneven pace, vapid and cruel characters none of which were easy to connect with on any level,…
