Boooooyyyyyyy!!!
I really enjoyed this movie, with the understanding that as a narrative movie it isn't very good. It is highly visual and a surrealist exploration in the same way that many Alexander Jodorowsky or David Lynch films are. I can easily lose myself in these sorts of films and enjoy them just as much as a straightforward narrative film. I will admit that I wish it towed the line between the two a little better at some points. Parts of the film are rated N for nightmare. It's pretty bleak. I think that I entered the film with the same expectations of a lot of people, in that I desperately wanted this to be a sequel to Drive. Obviously it wasn't and I can't blame Refn for going in an entirely different direction.
