I found it really hard to explain to people afterward because there hasn't really been a big, ambiguous movie like this in a while. Is it about the power women can wield over men? Is it about the fallacy of the Great Journey story convention? Is it an ad for sexual supplements? A climate change allegory? All of the above, none of them?

I kept coming back around to saying "it's gorgeous, and long portions of it don't really seem to matter at all, and when it ends you kind of just shrug and go 'that was a movie'" and getting told I was doing a terrible job selling the thing but...I really wonder what could unseat this from my 2021 Rushmore by the time things are all said and done.
