Yeah, well the thing is for me a lot of those types of movies are great but some are absolute trash. And then there are some that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. I don't really get most David Lynch movies for example, but I've rarely felt like watching them were a waste of time because at least you'll see something interesting. Then there's total bizarre experience films. I have no fucking clue what Holy Mountain was, but I was fascinated by it.
The issue with this film however seems to be that not only is it incoherent and rambling, it's also incredibly dull.
Have you seen it or are you just repeating other people's opinions?

Everyone I’ve seen say that haven’t seen it. Also it’s an arty heady drama, of course it’s gonna feel slow at times and be more vague than your average viewer will like.

I could not get through The Holy Mountain. I like some art films, but not the ones that drag. That one seriously dragged.

I'm all for exploration and experimentation in films. I just couldn't get through that one.
Peter Greenaway has made some fun art films. They often poke fun at themselves. My favorite is Vertical Features Remake, which is on this Russian streaming site for some reason, but you can watch it there in English for free, so what the hell...
