I think the story was great but it was far from mind bending, it takes more time to digest than it does to dissect.
Out of curiosity, everybody's giving their opinion about what the director and writer wanted to do (or intentionally did) and I was wondering if there was an interview out there or if it's all assumption.

I think I misspoke. The comment wasn't an indictment of you, but more of myself constantly and easily writing off unlikeable characters as being linked to bad writing or acting.
I agree with you, though - I respect the movie, but have a difficult time if I don't like or connect with anyone in it. Even though it was intentional, it still took that little bit away from me.
