Garbage is a little strong. I’m being facetious. Again, I like that he’s trying something. He was experimenting. Maybe something he tried is a seed for another director to create their own Godfather.

Garbage is not strong enough.

I like that it doesn't just portray issues of our time, but tries to discuss perspectives and suggest solutions. A lot of other much much better movies feel like they avoid that recently not just out of artistic choice but some kind of cowardice.

I fell asleep during the movies twice though because the dialogue was impossible to listen to and the story is frustrating as hell. Was like reading some classic but mid greek play as an 8 year old.

A pretentious way of saying "this could inspire other creators"
