If it follows a standard story structure, then what was the climax?

I think I'm very open-minded about movies. For example in the mid-aughts I dragged my girlfriend to like five different Coen Brothers movies before I decided that I really just don't like them. For another example, I even like mainstream movies.

Isn't it possible I do understand it, and I just don't like it? I've put enough thought into it. I see the themes. I don't think those things outweigh the poor plot structure.

You can say No Country has a coherent plot, but it doesn't in the sense I'm talking about.
