so bad it's good

Yeah, it does start out convoluted and confusing with too many characters -- too many of them unlikable -- and not enough focus on any one of them, but then around the midway point I got it. I got what the director/writer was doing and my initial irritation morphed into respect. It's a very unique film and the quality actors pull of the difficult material, particularly the black guy's monumentally challenging role. That plus the cinematography, editing, poignant script and choice songs on the soundtrack worked together to produce a unique and moving movie with gems to mine on future viewings.

I encourage you to give it another try some time.
