Everything looks normal unless you press any button ("single player", options, etc), then you see a zoomed-in dirt texture (see screenshot) and nothing else.
When changing the "GUI Scale", slightly different dirt textures can be seen on top of one another (second screen shot).
If you attempt to play the game in maximized windowed-mode, it is playable, but if you then try to switch to full-screen while in mid-game, the view is very distorted.
Two screenshots show the difference, one taken while in maximized-window mode (note the blue bar across the top, which is probably also a bug), and the other taken from the exact same position (I didn't move the character's view at all) which appears to be the bottom left corner of the maximized view, only zoomed in and slightly askew.
I tried deleting the entire app and reinstalling, but this didn't have any impact.
If I try to set the resolution manually in the Profile Editor, I can see buttons, but just barely. Screenshots attached.

I was thinking it might either be because I run my laptop in "scaled" mode (Retina screens can do this on OSX), or because I had connected it previously to an AirPlay TV, but after much testing, neither seems to be the case.
I'll try locking the resolution in the profile editor and see if that makes a difference.
Edit: Nope, I just tested by locking the resolution in my profile to 640x480 via the Profile Editor, and it had no impact. Actually, It did have a small impact, as now I can see the edge of a button. Still zoomed in to a huge degree, but the edge is partially visible.
Perhaps minecraft is picking up your monitor resolution something much bigger than it should be. I would either stick with windowed for now or look into your video resolution settings and see if changing anything has an impact.
