The Sisters Brothers was an absolutely amazing film. Frankly, I would not have watched it if I didn't see John C. Reilly on the cover (I'm a big fan of Dr. Steve Brule). I went into this thinking it was going to be zany... But it was just one of those amazing films that transcends genre. I absolutely love the way that the story is told, the incredibly deep characters, the action. It's beautifully shot. It's surprising... and, honestly, it is a lot for me to digest.
I really can't watch that many of these sorts of films, personally. You carry them around a long time and they put a storm in your mind for a few days, and you start to see the world with a bit more depth. That is really a blessing -- but, I personally just don't like watching these sorts of movies with any regularity. It begins to warp your point of view into something that is overly sentimental and deep, and they begin to make you more critical of reality itself.
It also drives you to seek a deeper thing inside of other people's experiences that is not your business.
I do not think this is true for every personality type but anyone who has a melancholic or sanguine personality shouldn't overindulge in this sort of art. It's too much.
