Right, I come across my Wachowski love earnestly. And I do think the Wachowskis at this point earn the merit badge of "cult director" after making several movies that haven't done well at the box office that just super-clicked with certain audiences. I'm happy to be in that cult, lol, but I also get why some of their stuff would be very much not for others.

And, as you pointed out, the Matrix sequel doesn't have anything to do with this movie, lol. Not the same in any sense, really.
