I am interested in tis, but definitely as a rental first

This is in my top 3 on the year...but a rental would be the course I'd recommend, over a blind buy. The accusations of an unfocused, unwieldy nature could be deemed accurate, even if they meld with the themes of the film; and I can see how this could disorient a viewing experience.

It is one of the richest films of the year, so perhaps if one is underwhelmed a rewatch would prove beneficial?

On note of the Oscar noms: I can see how this missed Picture, but it should have been in the Director, Cinematography, Production Design and Original Screenplay categories. At least a couple more of those. Glad to see its showing on the Acting fronts though.
