At times hypnotically beautiful, at others inscrutable. This is certainly one of those "good in parts" films. Highlights include Guy Pearce's performance, with some lovely nuances and "moments", as well as the always-brilliant JK Simmons. Lowlights are the glacial pace and non-sequitur/blind alley storyline. Difficult to recommend, but impossible to dismiss, a film that sits squarely in the middle of the love/hate spectrum.
