Thanks Simon, I was trying to find a single review that would actually tell me what the movie was about, and they are thin on the ground - and that made me highly suspicious. The last movie I was tricked into seeing where the plot was as clear as mud was Mother, and that turned out to be bafflingly pretentious claptrap - such a dreadful try hard of a dreary dirge of a movie that I ended up laughing at the torture and only stayed to the end out of a sense of revolted curiosity.
Anyway, I was pretty much on the fence about this, and now feel quite safe in avoiding :)
Glad to have been of service. I actually quite liked mother! oddly enough (with lots of reservations and caveats that it isn't for everyone), but I won't bore you with why. This one though, rubbish through and through.

I wasn’t planning to see it. I hate Adam Driver, for one thing.
I do like Adam Driver (in films like Marriage Story, for instance), but not here.
So basically you're saying old man Coppola's lost his movie-making mind...
Pretty much. :)
