ELI5 Why the movie 'Pi' (1998) is so critically acclaimed and loved by many.

I have an interest in maths and don't mind the occasional arthouse movie. But I don't get what's so good about this movie.

I've tried to watch it several times, but I just get confused about the non-linearity of the movie, the direction of the plot, and I get uncomfortable about the imagery. This results in a movie too difficult to watch and I end up turning it off, resulting in an un-entertaining exercise.

That's the point. Good movies don't have to make you feel good. They make you feel how the director wants you to feel. Aronofsky excels at making you feel the way you did.

No one would blame you if it isn't your style of movie.
