Huh. Reading O'Hehir, he has a point, but I still don't care. But yes, I accept your posit. Let's try it for tragedy.
The short shrift for reality thing was one of the many things that grated. And YES. Ashes. This. We know she's fucked. So why do we care again?
Broken Brazil - oh yes.
It's too bad they didn't combine the asylum/brothel. That would have made a bit more sense. Maybe.
Did not read the Eggers but sounds like I'll give it a miss. I sometimes wish that authors wouldn't get so damn clever clever. And that's rather how I felt about Sucker Punch. "Oh look. You think you're so clever. *sigh* Bored now."
And YES, in this case it was the filmmaker-film viewer contract that got broken. It's not that you can't do it. But you better be able to pull that shit off, say the way Christopher Nolan does in Memento.
