I recently watched it for the first time and loved it. The disjointed flow of it worked for me as a mechanism to immerse in an experience of a person’s life. Like a speedrun. The themes - including never really launching into life, seeking to but never really connecting with others except post-facto, struggling to understand and metabolize losses, breaching out of the self - all resonated with me so that helped.
I watched a trailer that seemed to pitch it as an absurd comedy, which on reflection is an extremely weird approach.
The themes made sense to me, I just had no desire to endure the repeated misery and alienation of it. I mean, it’s definitely art, I simply find it very ugly. It can be ugly on purpose all it likes, I still find it repulsive.
I’ve sat through a lot of things that I didn’t enjoy in my life!
In this case it was my optimistic nature hoping that eventually there would be something I felt was worthwhile. Alas, no, it was just a post-modern miseryfest, from my perspective.

So you didn’t even finish the movie? Or did I misread
I watched the trailer before watching the film.
I was referring to the part about having no desire to continue
