As someone with a mental disability I actually find the "incomplete" metaphor a lot more accurate and less condescending than naively insisting that I'm just different, despite the trend in academics towards the latter model. I don't know for certain that I would feel the same if were mute or blind or missing or a limb instead, and I can't speak for everyone's experience, but I don't think it's an inherently flawed way of looking at it.

"This was bad" is fine as long as you can articulate your standards.

Solaris kind of surprises me, it's certainly no crowd pleaser but it's not aggressively unpleasant like Bug or mother! or weird and offputting like Wicker Man and Killing Them Softly

Soderbergh's Solaris is awful. It's weird enough to not have any kind of mainstream appeal but simultaneously way too sickly sentimental to live up to the novella.

like seriously how do you take a book that basically posits "God exists and is mutually incomprehensible to us" and then make a movie about George Clooney being forgiven for his sins and getting his dead wife back
