This is one of those insufferable cases where a great idea was executed clumsily, and it seems to be largely due to the format at hand. Other reviewers point out the obvious that this is a story that ultimately could not fit the scope it is intended to (a feature length film). It would make for a great singular TV episode type thing, or a short novel.
Ultimately as a 90 minute movie, it is too light on content and storytelling to maintain itself. It is quite literally the kind of film where you could fade in and out of and not lose step with it as long as you are paying attention to the first and last 15 minutes or so.
It's all very interesting and neat, but that's it.
