As for the foreigners that think a good movie is a movie you have to think about, you're wrong. We don't all have to have a formula storyline. (the word you're looking for is "formula") I could be completely content with this film, IF I just understood the ending. I guess I missed the ending.
Look at Fargo, did that story have any formula character arcs? No. Was it a good movie? Yes. Now look at Godfather. That movie has maybe one of the biggest character arcs in motion picture history and it's an awesome film. So not all movies have to follow a formula.
No Country certain didn't follow a formula, but I think it kinda falls apart at the end, and I still haven't heard one person here explain it to me, in a way that makes sense. You're all just guessing, so that tells me you are all just as stupid as I am.

You're right, in the end a plot is not what makes or breaks a film...some of the best films ever have almost no plot(but a narrative). Full metal Jacket, Goodfellas are some examples.
Saying a movie has no plot is not a good argument, but I hear it all the time from dimwits who didn't understand a film. "A didn't connect with B, and C wasn't wrapped up in a nice, neat little bow for me."
A moviegoer that likes everything spoon fed to them is just not going to like this film. There's always a couple of movies each year that are force fed to multiplexers and false-advertised as something juicy to lure them in. The studios make their money, but the inbred, mouth-breathing, porcorn gobbling masses feel cheated...and rightly so. They want to see Jim Carrey pop out and every five minutes and say "where's the beef?" or see that clean, wholesome negro Will Smith say a bunch of canned catchphrases. They don't want to think.
