Some of the weird experimental touches don't fully work here, whereas a lot of the more artsy, out there stuff in the earlier parts did work for me. However, it does work as a mostly satisfying conclusion, with a few excellent sequences. I was worried I'd be restless and bored during this final part, having watched all 4 in one day, but thankfully that was not the case.
