I think the satire is kind of cheap, to hide the meaning of your production in plain sight and laugh about it while someone is watching it. It's okay to do so while you're keeping your viewer entertained, but people spend both time and money to watch cinema, so there should at least be some effort. There is none in this film.
Occasional visual sparks are quickly dying in endless, pointless, overlapping conversations, producing... white noise. Which is literally uncomfortable to hear for prolonged period of time, so with ridiculous runtime of 2 hours 12 minutes it is exhausting experience. There is nothing witty, intellectual or thought provoking in this thing, it is just plain dull. If you're looking for some 80's suburban vibes, want it to be American and want it to be interesting, go watch Donnie Darko instead and avoid this failure.
