I do think the slowness is deceptive though, since the mood of it seems so blatantly awkward from the start -- like it's making fun of you for not knowing <i>why</i> everything felt wrong. Probably another reason a repeated viewing would be rewarding since you'll know what sort of things to keep an eye out for.

One thing that bears mentioning is that the movie unfolds very slowly, like a kind of wasting away towards emptiness. It punishes those who have no patience to focus. I had to pause my viewing several times because my mind would wander and miss a subtlety or nuance in the film. I think you did a good job and were fair to the show.
