I'm Thinking of Ending Things is not a good movie, in fact my wife regularly berates it as the worst thing we've ever watched and I think it's up there, but it is pretty confusing.

there were some soviet films toward the end of the USSR that went kind of haywire in terms of plots and narrative coherency. dead man's letters, visitor to a museum, zerograd - those are often confusing.

I have a low IQ but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t coherent.

if you like old movies, film noir, LA history, or Bogart it's a 180 must-see but the plot is indecipherable.

"Writing

The Big Sleep is known for its convoluted plot.[14] Similar to To Have and Have Not, there was no finalized script during filming due to the constant changes during production. The composition of the screenplay involved Hawks and three writers. Leigh Brackett and William Faulkner wrote alternating sections of the initial draft before exiting once they turned in their final draft.[2] Jules Furthman and Hawks rewrote during production to help appease censorship from the Hays Office, which was vehement about excluding sexual themes.[15]

In the novel, Geiger is selling pornography – then illegal and often associated with organized crime – and is a homosexual having a relationship with Lundgren. Carmen is described as being nude in Geiger's house and later nude and in Marlowe's bed. The sexual orientation of Geiger and Lundgren goes unmentioned in the film because explicit references to homosexuality were prohibited.[15] Carmen's sexuality from the novel also became more thinly veiled. To pass the censorship Carmen had to be fully dressed and the pornographic elements could only be alluded to with cryptic references to photographs of Carmen wearing a "Chinese dress" and sitting in a "Chinese chair".[15] A scene of her in Marlowe's bed was replaced with a scene in which she appears sitting fully dressed in Marlowe's apartment, for him to promptly kick her out. This scene was initially omitted from the 1945 cut, but restored for the 1946 version.[15]

Midway through filming, Hawks and the cast realized that they did not know whether the chauffeur Owen Taylor had killed himself or was murdered.[16] A cable was sent to Chandler, who told his friend Jamie Hamilton in a March 21, 1949 letter: "They sent me a wire ... asking me, and dammit I didn't know either".[17]"

Mullholland Dr

Eraserhead

The Fountain

I think a good example of a well done “complicated movie” is Kubrick’s 2001. The allegory is concise and purposeful.
