Opinions?
Personally, I liked it. I thought it was well directed, well written and very well edited. There was a lot of symbolism, and Kanye is usual egotistical fashion was bringing a metaphor of his life to the screen.... He claimed influence from Kubrick and Fellini, and I believe they come through in the film.
Some may hate. Some may compare him negatively to other artists who have come before him and created similar. But I liked what he did. It wasn't a story based film as such, but more a piece of motion art.
One review I read summed it up perfectly for me.
"Given how controversial West’s every artistic gesture seems to have become, I have a feeling we’ll be in for a round of dismissals of Runaway as a pretentious piece. Instead, it deserves to be seen as a carefully modulated art-film made by a man on a mission."
