I bought this movie because of its nearly universal glowing reviews. I tried, but I couldn't get past the protagonist's routine and gratuitous cruelty to perfectly innocent creatures around him, like kicking a cat -- hard -- just because it was there.
Art, age, social isolation, brutal environment -- none of those is justification for such unprovoked cruelty. All I wanted from then on was to see somebody twenty times his size kick HIM as hard as he kicked that cat, for no reason, so he'd find out what it feels like.
