This movie thinks it so incredibly smart. Not only is the narrative unbearably pretentious, but every character tries so hard to be quick-witted that the dialog just comes across as downright unrealistic. No one speaks or reacts to situations like a real human being would. That is what ultimately ruined this movie for me.
Which is why I am so surprised to see such an the inordinate amount of high-praising reviews. Did we all see the same movie here? Were you all seriously tricked into thinking this movie was as clever and witty as it so shamelessly boasted? It was NOT clever or witty. It was unrealistic and scattered.
