High arthouse direction with conversations spanning numerous funky cutaways and traversing scnes works to a point but just seems strange when it's overdone.
The other irritation is that it capitalises on the working class Brit vernacular too hard so as to impress American audiences - Wilson's diatribe to the secret service agent is almost a comedy skit.
