Our team lead never says anything's wrong directly, just 'interesting choice' in review comments

My team lead never says anything's actually wrong. Reviews come back with comments like 'interesting choice' or 'sure, if that's what you want' and I'm left decoding what that actually means for an hour. Directly asking 'is this a problem?' usually gets a vague non-answer too. Anyone figured out how to get a passive-communicator manager to just say the thing?
