Here we go with every other post saying, "It gave me so much anxiety!" or "It was so anxiety inducing!" or some variation using the word "anxiety."

It was a shit movie, filled with non stop everyone yelling over each other so much you couldn't understand a goddamn word. When Christopher Nolan makes a film and you can't understand the dialog, its non stop criticism...but in this film when you can't understand the dialog, its "art" or "a great film" or whatever. The concept and story was fine, but the execution was horrible, and there was nothing spectacular about the acting either.

I can only thing I can gather that the reason so many people like it, is because they grew up in homes with non stop yelling and arguing, and as adults, this film reminds them of that "anxiety inducing" childhood and as people do, look back on their childhoods filled with fear and anxiety and intensity with fondness, even when it wasn't so great. Comments like this and this prove the point.

Yeah, its really not a story driven plot; it's more about experiencing the emotional makeup of the main character for a few hours.

A lot of character driven independent films are like this--not a lot of plot, but all about "a day in the life of" only they do it well.
