It has Lars von Trier directing.

Insufferably heavy-handed with themes and sub-text and a complete lack of subtlety. It's like a musician whose idea of dynamics is just... loud.

Why does being heavy handed and not being subtle mean the film is pretentious? If you namecheck Trier then for somebody who is heavy handed plenty of people argue about what he actually meant with his films, look at The House That Jack Built for example.
