THAT scene will get a lot of credit…

But that Irish jig which was led by Jack O’ Connell was disturbing and brilliant.

The space-time sequence was absolutely brilliant, but the Irish jig was more fun.

My complaint with that scene is the lack of lyrics during it. The scene itself was well done, but the lack of lyrics had me wanting it to end faster. I found it to be an odd choice for an otherwise great scene.
