This is definitely a movie I need to rewatch. There’s so much symbolism and allegory that I’m sure will reveal new things on the second watch through. 

What I found interesting is that the setup was a little slow in my opinion. Things pick up after the first 60 minutes or so. But once the film is over, I looked at those first 60-90 minutes in a completely different, more charitable light. As if the end retroactively gave weight to the beginning. I’ve never had this feeling in a film. (But I have had the opposite. I enjoyed The Matrix 2 until I watched The Matrix 3)

Highly recommend this film. I’ll probably feel even stronger after my second watch through.
