Yeah, I can see it that way. What impresses me is how comprehensive it is in its genius.
It's not just a pretty movie, or a great story, or some great acting performances. Everything coalesces to a narrative that is both ambiguous and pointed simultaneously.
Nobody's all good. Nobody's all bad. No one big event sets everything in motion. It's the implacable inertia of fate dealing its hand out in our current times and letting the chips fall as they may.
And it's tone is all over the place while still remaining coherent.
It's something you can ruminate on and still not make progress, yet still feel the rumination was productive.
