Pretentious

Pretentious films irk me. More so, fans of pretentious films, who smother all others in their self-important air.

I’m trying to fully put into words why I liked Synecdoche, New York and to a lesser extent Holy Motors, but I couldn’t stand The Tree of Life – I could understand if someone were to call all three of these films ‘pretentious’.

What’s the most pretentious film you’ve ever seen? And why did you hate it?
