if your grip on reality is "tenuous at best."
Mine is, so it was like sliding down a greased Frank Gehry slope in horror trying to latch on to some Seussian apex of reality in the structure(lessness) of the thing.
If you are "doing just fine, thank you very much" you might like it or even find it boring.
The editing is very sharp and there are only a few cliches.
Overall, it owes too much to Vanilla Sky, I suppose, but it doesn't sew everything up at the end like that movie.
It prefers to stay a mindfuck.
Ryan Gosling and Ewan and Naomi Watts are good in it, but the real stars are the horrid New Brutalist architecture (the city pretty much becomes a character) and the nausea-inducing superfast, superfluent, supernasty editing.
