My opinion is that the joke is funny, not that the film is bad. I don’t have an opinion of the film, though I do think the twelve year shoot is inherently pretentious if it isn’t good.
That’s a dumb thing to think. If it isn’t good it’s not pretension, it’s just a failed experiment.
Thing is, the movie is good.
It’s a decent prequel for a remake of Before Sunrise 😜
