One thought I haven't seen mentioned is the emotional aspect of several of these movies. In my opinion, Lost in Translation was bad, but I made it through it, I heart huckabees & Sideways were so terrible I stopped watching in the middle. All three movies were good in the sense that I could get drawn into the stories, but the characters/storyline just made me want to scream "Get over it you freaking cry-baby".
They weren't bad in the way that a normal bad movie is bad. They were bad in the way that it took talented writing, acting & directing to make characters and situations that were so pathetic and annoying that it was unwatchable to a guy like me.
I can easily see how someone else (who presumably could relate to the emotions of the characters) would really like the films.
