Has anyone seen "The Killing of a Sacred Deer"?

What did you think? I could only get 15 minutes into it before giving up. The dialogue was that stiff, Pinteresque stuff, where people are totally detached from each other. Is it worth watching to the end., or did I make the right choice?

Another totally unwatchable film. Of course, Rotten Tomatoes gave them both high marks.

I always read reviews of movies that look interesting.
Mainly at mrqe.com and reviews posted at Amazon.
I went back twice and read reviews of "Sacred Deer."
Both times the whole thing sounded dumb.
Passed.
