The film constantly threatens to collapse under the weight of its narrative breadth. It just about manages to avoid this, in part because the film is less about one specific idea and more about tracing the mood of our time.

The film certainly has its flaws, but there is something about it that feels like a splinter in the mind. It stays embedded and says, "Think about me, contend with me, try to understand what I am saying to you."
