i don't entirely disagree - but - i think all the visual acuity fails if the film fails to fulfill its obligation. i'm willing to suspend my disbelief for anything (i mean, really, anything) but the film also has a narrative responsibility to reward my suspension. (now, in fairness, i'm thinking of 'narrative' films - not art films like some of David Lynch's stuff that seems more meant to be a creative experience than actually provide a coherent narrative).
i don't think this makes me 'closed-minded' but a demanding viewer.
