If it wasn't for the beautiful cinematography and Bill Murray's cameo performance – which is at the very end – I would had fallen asleep after half an hour.

Australia's venerable film critics Margaret Pomeranz and David Stratton only have the film a score of 2 and 3 stars, respectively.

It is not a movie I would plan a day's outing around.

It really is. Critics these days, many of them younger and younger, will tolerate an Antonioni film because they think they have to, but just have zero patience for anything that doesn’t move at a modern pace.

We get it — the movie has fanciful ideas. That doesn’t mean your writing needs to get out of control, too. What, exactly, makes a movie “wormhole-like”? And this: “wantonly constructed in a formalistic loop or perhaps a pebble in the water, with each ripple reverberation out a familiar, but growing pattern.” ‘Scuse me? You’re awesome, but please come back to earth.
