As much as I prefer to avoid reducing films to "x + y" influence equations, this really is almost precisely "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" crossed with Primer, and very nearly as heady and arresting as that sounds. Unlike Carruth, Byrkit (who's worked extensively with Gore Verbinski—he has a story credit on Rango, for example) is a bit too eager to explain himself, even tossing in an overly convenient book that lays out Schrödinger's Cat for viewers unfamiliar with quantum decoherence; a more confident filmmaker would have produced a knowing smile in those with some knowledge of physics and let everybody else simply accept the split as magic. His scenario is arguably even more insanely complicated, though…
This gave me more anxiety than any film I’ve ever seen and I’m going to be legitimately traumatized for the next days/months/years FUCK
You literally have to pay attention to every single second of this but it’s really easy to because it sucks you in with how anxious and curious it gets you. As Billy Ray Cyrus once said, much to think about.....
you know a film is confusing when you don’t even understand the explained video

What could possibly be the most startling thing you could ever witness in real life that would make your heart pound, head spin, doubt your mind if its reality or schizophrenic hallucination and make you question your own sanity? A Brontosaurus, a Godzilla, an Alien, a Predator, one look at the mutated, cross species progeny from Eraserhead, a glance at the abominable, heart attack inducing face from Mulholland Drive, witnessing Hannibal Lecter eat a man's brain right out of his head while he is still alive and also feed some to him, reading Jack Torrance's months of work, the enigmatically chilling Polish woman from Inland Empire, Buffalo Bill, Ichi, the killer; which one of…

Sixth or seventh viewing, no score change. Always get strange looks when I wax poetic for this film, but it never ceases to amaze me with its (oxymoronic) "simple complexity." From a purely superficial register, its far more intricate than most people care to explore or even realize. (And, at the risk of sounding cliché, if you've only seen this once then you haven't really seen it at all.) Each revisit has unveiled new microconcepts and possibilities; conversations that previously felt superfluous garner deeper and reconstructed meanings. After I'd watched it (more or less) five times, I created this chart in an attempt to explain what the audience sees w.r.t. time. Impressive how many minute details are utilized but…
