I just saw it at the Hawaii International Film Fest, and I liked it very much. I've enjoyed Kon's other films, and this one shares elements with Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress (lots of high-paced chase sequences that make the film fly, but not as many as Millennium). Like previous commenters said, it is quite weird, but it gives you a lot to think about if you chose, and if you're not into analyzing films, there are plenty of beautiful visuals to feats your eyes on.

In a Q&A after the screening, Kon said that this would be the last of his films mixing dreams and reality, and hinted that the ending could be a topic of his next work.

My mouth dropping constantly throughout the movie in shock until finally I just left it hang open. Very creative and original. Unfortunately some others walked out!?

I was curious what 2LDK meant after the film: in general it is a 2 bedroom apartment with living room, dining room and kitchen in Japan. The setting of the whole film.
