The little flashes and loud music were kind of reminiscent of when you’re really deep into a topic or idea that just consumes all your senses. As for the time skips, since I wasn’t familiar with the history I was right the way confused until maybe the second hour.
Admittedly I could only get through the whole thing in three sittings, so some of the momentum of the film might have been lost on me :(

I couldn’t get that far. I made it some 25 minutes before I turned it off. A barrage of pointless scenes was so boring to me.

I made it a bit further but also gave up. I guess I wasn’t particularly interested in a Nolan biographical feature to begin with (I feel he is better suited to fiction), but it definitely felt like one of his most self-fellating efforts yet. Sort of just confrationally different for the sake of being different. I bet his fanboys ate it up, though.
