An interesting experiment, started quirky in a good way but wore down

The concept was interesting, and it started out in quirky way that reminded me of something between The Lobster and Shutter Island, but then wore down with over-the-top acting, and some strange scene transitions and dialogue and plot that didn't string fully together.

There were some interesting camera angles and concepts along the way, and it's not that I could do any better at any particular aspect, but in broad comparison to other films it seem more an interesting experiment.
