Brilliant movie, one of those movies that really makes you think
The director is clearly asking you to think deeper about the film, but that obviously went over a lot of audiences heads. Reminds me a lot of why The Thing was first hated in 1982 because that's another movie where the director expects you to put the clues together. Audiences want everything spelled out for them and accuse the film of having "plot holes" or "bad writing" if it isn't. Maybe the movie should've ended with David Robert Mitchell having a lecture where he explains to the audience what everything means? Like he comes out with a white board and connects the dots for us, since that's what everyone wants.
