Yes, it seems alright to me to have a life-is-elsewhere film set more or less entirely in the elsewhere that life supposedly is.
I also really loved the look and the texture of the whole thing, which I suspect helped me gloss over some of the things others found irritating ro slow or whatever. I was very happy to just look at that fantastical and fantastically stylish world, I am very happy to think the effort of making the movie was justified by the results (at least in so far as any movie justifies the immense amount of effort required to make it).
