This was me with "One Battle after another", it was not incomprehensible rather the opposite, it was very simple. Don't get me wrong I don't think the movie is bad or anything but for such hype created I was expecting it to be a bit more revolutionary. It also doesn't help that you need to watch DeCaprio shouting Viva la revolución
I really like Bugonia, Code 3 and Roofman from the recent movies I watched. Bugonia is a little confusing but it's still easy to get it's message. The other two are quite simple but the opposite of boring.
How was Bugonia confusing in any way?
The end is a a lot to take in. Don't you think? I've also seen a lot of people misunderstand the movie so I cane to that conclusion.
Paul Thomas Anderson has dug a hole for himself. He really can't do better than his previous work so he necessarily has to do worse. Licorice Pizza was also not great. I haven't seen One Battle yet but the vibe around it and trailers made me realize it's probably a mess or at least marketed poorly.
