What I don't understand, though, is that your hating it is the only criticism you've had of it. "I hate it" isn't a criticism, it's a response. A perfectly valid response, but only with further elaboration. I've praised the film for several things, now, and you've not really countered them.

You hate it despite its rich visual textures, the fact that it looks like film when it isn't, it's unconventional narrative, its expert editing, its thematic infrastructure...
