I can definitely see why it bother some as much as it did you, and if you don\’t engage by the halfway mark of the first story, it\’ll get very boring very fast. Yay, diversity! Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for being nice when disagreeing.

I agree it was well shot and the musical cues (especially the jarring and anachronistic use of a song the reviewer mentions) were generally intriguing, I found myself losing patience with its pretensions about one-third in and it could not win me back. In fact, it has been one of my least favourite films at TIFF this year.
