Cinematography is art and I appreciate movies for their artistic quality (the way I see it) and not for their ideological message.

Anyway, note that I did not comment on the movie, because I did not watch it; only mentioned why I didn't, so your rant is unjustified. I watched 6 out of 9 movies and my votes are based on what I've seen.
Sorry, no, you said you found those plots "boring" which is not the same thing. And if you hate ideology then it's weird you like Nebraska so much which is full of ideology from the filmmaker, and in fact, ALL art is full of ideology that drives the message of the artist. Without it you have a bunch of pretty pictures or songs or words that have no real meaning. Very strange viewpoint if you truly appreciate movies for their artistic qualities. The message and the means of delivering it are intertwined and cannot be separated. I'm just not getting what you're saying so we'll let it be and talk about predictions.
