This is a really cerebral movie with a plot convoluted enough that there are YouTube videos of people trying to explain it with diagrams. So don't watch this when you just want to escape reality for a little while - you will be disappointed. If you're in the mood for a puzzle, though, check this out. Also, they made this with an odd tendency for the characters to talk over each other. I think this ties into the plot symbolically, but it's hard to get used to and the plot is already convoluted enough, so the second time I watched it I turned the subtitles on, and it helped a bit.
