I went in knowing nothing about it, just based on the high score and the fact that it was in some list of interesting movies to watch somewhere. Right off the bat I should have suspected it wouldn't be my cup of tea from the artistic choice to use a 4:3 aspect ratio. While I can appreciate the performances by the actors, there is very little else that was to my liking, so much so that I almost stopped watching at 2 or 3 occasions. As some other viewers have pointed out, some choices were made to add "shock value" but it doesn't feel organic or seem to bring much to the overall story. I can see why some cinephiles might find some interest in it (hence the high ratings) but more conventional audience like me can ignore it.
