I watched a trailer that seemed to pitch it as an absurd comedy, which on reflection is an extremely weird approach.

The themes made sense to me, I just had no desire to endure the repeated misery and alienation of it. I mean, it's definitely art, I simply find it very ugly. It can be ugly on purpose all it likes, I still find it repulsive.

I watched the trailer before watching the film.

I was referring to the part about having no desire to continue

I've sat through a lot of things that I didn't enjoy in my life!

In this case it was my optimistic nature hoping that eventually there would be something I felt was worthwhile. Alas, no, it was just a post-modern miseryfest, from my perspective.
