WTF?!?!

I wanted to like this. I really do like films that make you think, maybe even make me study them a little. One of those was Shane Carruth's "Primer". After watching it numerous times, it was ultimately frustrating and I found that no one could really follow it without many viewings.

"Upstream Color" plays the same way but has not persuaded me to watch it again. I'm convinced it's weird with a goal of being indecipherable. It screams "I'm smarter than you!" in every frame. The characters are insufferable. It really isn't even visually appealing. Unless you favor pig pens and hotel rooms.

I am not going to like a film because others think it's smart. If I missed something, that's on me. It was not entertaining in the least and to be entertained is the primary reason I watch movies.
