I love Jim Jarmusch yet have difficulties with lots of his films. What may be considered arty and dangerous often ends up for me as baggy, awkward and ponderous. Like you show up unprepared to a presentation and there are lots of embarrassing silences.
However amongst the chaff Cate Blanchett excels as always, the Iggy/Tom Waits piece is a real thrill and was really impressed by the Steve Coogan segment, clearly a prototype of the self-characterisation used later to great effect in The Trip(s).
