Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
