I really wanted to see this “experience” until I found this out. Swinton said it was a “living piece of art.” Now I am as arty-farty as they come but this chapped my hide! This film is not “for the people,” it’s for the elite. The elite in this case isn’t people w/money, it’s people who just happen to live in the city/town the movie is playing in. I can’t stand elitist art. I loooove Tilda Swinton, I adore her, worship her as an actress, but c’mon. I feel like this is a move a 22-year old art student would make, someone with a non-tempered ego.

Some art, like nature-based art, cannot be removed from its environment (think Mount Rushmore, pieces built into and of the earth that will decompose over time). However, this is a “moving artwork” in a medium that is traditionally for all audiences and film-lovers (whatever their tastes may be). Maybe I get that as I write. However, I can’t shake the elitism of this piece away from its form. My two cents.
