I got to see this in-person at Sundance, and in the context of a film festival it was a pretty cool experience. I attended the press/industry screening and it was fun to talk about the differences between the version I saw with folks who saw the other three versions that screened there. As someone who both programs software for a living and also works with/on film festivals, I expected this to be just a gimmick but I have to say it worked pretty well. However most of the reason it worked was in the context of telling Eno's story in particular because of how he works - the way the film was exhibited became part of the story itself. Not sure how well that will translate to other stories and films.
I went into it not knowing much about Eno at all (surprisingly in hindsight) but was quite inspired by him and loved the film. At least that version of it. I do love that this model adds a good bit of uncertainty to movie reviews, because there inevitably will be better versions and worse versions.
