Largely incoherent and a huge mess.
I think that's The Master.
PTA, probably did a lot of Coke during the making of this movie.
It's a good movie but not weened in; it's Boogie Nights X10 on drugs.
Most people watch it and then immediately ask, what the F was that about?
The interpretations can be personal to you.
I've only watched it once or twice. It's a typically well-done PTA movie but its so fricking ambitious that it can leave viewers frustrated. Definitely worth a watch to see what you get out of it.

Three very long hours of melodrama.
Depressing. Very weird. An abstract slow swerving trip around the meanings of happiness, fulfillment, purpose with a central theme focus of relationships between family members and the effects upon themselves and their relationships to other people.
Some people think it’s a masterpiece. Still others just appreciate its unique storytelling.
I am in neither of those groups. I understand what the movie is attempting in its scope. I just don’t care for it. It’s silly excess. It’s not moving to me. It’s unfulfilling. It is a definitive example of trying too hard. That’s just my opinion.

This seems a misguided assault to me. The Master was murky in the PTA style, but overall a fairly tight narrative and Joaquin and PSH gave A+ performances.

Well put, that's exactly where I'm at. And there are some great performances and content in the movie. I watched it a second time to try to be fair to it, and my opinion did not change a bit.

A lot of people (good and bad) are tormented by abuse or the ghosts of their abusers/victims.
What has stayed with me since I watched it (posted it about it here on this board a month or so ago) is not the things done by or to others out of spite, malice, jealousy, or depression, but the moments of unsurpassed tenderness and compassion.
This is a movie that presents a full slate of very real, very human horrors - and dares the audience to believe that the characters played by PSH and John C. Reilly exist in our same world. It is ultimately uplifting through that lens.
It is definitely in need of serious editing - think PTA said in a reddit AMA he should have cut 30 minutes. And it is pure melodrama. The acting is some of the finest of the cast's careers, no small compliment given the performers.
