My primary complaint is that either the director tried to make it 
"realistic" or he didn't hire trained actors. Hence, there are situations 
where if you were there it would be easy to understand, but since you're 
behind a camera with no audio direction clues, you can't understand the 
dialog or what's happening.  The whole thing gave me the impression of 
lacking auditory "peripheral vision."  People talk over each other, respond 
to people they can hear but you can't see and hence can't easily tell who 
they're talking to, minor characters show up for 20 minutes at the start and 
then disappear, major characters come out of "nowhere" doing things that 
would make sense if they really were your father-in-law but are hard to 
understand because the audience never met them before and the audience isn't 
told until much later it's the father-in-law, etc.

I think at least half the confusion is that sort of stuff, rather than the 
actual time-travel paradox.  I think.  But since lots of confusion happens 
even before they invent the time-travel stuff, I have to assume it wasn't 
just me. :-)

mind-games, check out eXistanZ. (which may be spelled wrong there.)
