Aggregate ratings lean favorable, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller one-star share indicates that experiences are not uniformly positive. The ratings do not explain the reasons behind individual opinions. For a film built around slowly evolving images rather than conventional plot, preferences about pace and style may matter more than the overall rating suggests.
