1/2 the theater walked out at Sundance

This was probably the worst thing I've ever paid for in my life. Saw it at Sundance Film Festival this weekend and 1/2 the theater walked out - it was revolting, repulsive, and punishment. There was no story, no point to this film whatsoever. There was maybe a sentence or 2 every ten minutes or so, otherwise it was a lot of unpleasant images one after another with the most painfully slow pace imaginable.

I would only recommend this film to prisoners who are in prison - because that's what it felt like. It felt like I'd committed a crime and having to watch this film was the result.

For the sake of art, I kept trying to think - oh let me just give it a chance, maybe it will get better, when in fact it continued to get worse.
