No offense, but are you just an anti-intellectual? I suspect so.
You can dislike a movie for being snooty and pretentious without being an "anti-intellectual". Who even calls themselves an intellectual, especially for watching movies that only a certain few are really into? Seems a bit self-important if you ask me.
At the same time, this isn't a review so much as it is a complaint. Like just one singular complaint. Without raging against french arthouse cinema in a burning 400 word rant, you should pad this out with examples of it being pretentious bullshit and why you don't like this movie.
Come sail your ships around me, and burn your bridges down.
Sums up my thoughts on the movie pretty well. What's weird is that it gets so much praise for something that was made by a complete amateur. The director didn't know how to do anything. All he had was a vision and it doesn't seem like the vision quite got through.
It’s about a guy who robs a bank, treats his painfully naïve girlfriend like shit all the time and spouting smart-sounding ‘observations’, and just comes across as a complete tool. He’s the main character. His girlfriend is The Ditz without the comic element to her behaviour, she’s just someone dumb enough to think anything that idiot says has any substance. And there’s that writer she interviews who spouts some ideas about relations between men and women that aged about as well as milk. The plot advances very slowly and oh Kot it is so uninteresting. Any character with more than 5 lines eliminates any potential interest.

Pretentious bullshit.
It has little to no plot with unlikable characters babbling nonsense non-stop. It looks clever because it’s French and avant garde, but it’s not. The only merit this film offers is the chance to say you’ve watched a film by Godard.
