Now, don't get me wrong, a pretentious film can be good entertainment. (If not, then every film David Lean ever directed would be unwatchable.) But this film has little redeeming value other than trendy filmic aesthetics and atmosphere (which is why it merits a 3 instead of a 1).
It's a self-consciously arty movie with an ensemble of dead-end characters who eventually reach their dead ends. Aside from the policeman, none of these characters will evoke in you any empathy.
In fact, when it's over, you will have the sinking feeling that you have just wasted 90 minutes of your precious life.
