Nice review, Timothy. I think we saw a lot of the same stuff in the film. I liked it, though I admit there was not much to it. Mostly, for me the photography and the actors made it work. I thought Hardy did the most impressive job taking a character that was basically just a sketch and making him interesting to watch. To me the cast delivers in this, they just don't have a lot to work from. It is kind of like, dress them up and let them go, which works as long as you are not expecting some great plot and story. I enjoy hangout films, which is what I feel this is. You just are a fly on the wall with these characters.

I agree with many of your comments in this thread and the other one regarding The Bikeriders. It is an interesting window into a period of time and a lifestyle that might be as alien to many audience members as though it took place on another planet. If you are familiar with this terrain, it might resonate for you as though you are looking through an old scrapbook.
