I assume it was trying to say something. I didn't understand it at first so I kept waitching. Was this an essay on the futility of movie-making? On the futility of watching a movie because it has one of your favourite actresses and you assume it will be at least worthwhile as a result? Maybe. How it got an "80" critics' rating eludes me as well. I can only assume these people all figured that if they didn't understand the point of it then it must be really profound. They were wrong. Honestly, don't bother.
