The Movie in 3 Sentences
- If you think of this movie as a nightmare it makes more sense. When you dream, your brain processes deep emotions and fears. Things like guilt, shame, childhood fears (spiders, strangers, water, the woods, etc.) and a lot of times the narrative is confusing and all over the place. This basically sums of the movie.
- I got the movie tickets just because it was Ari Aster and Joaquin Phoenix.. but I don’t know if I can recommend this for everyone. Hereditary and Midsommar are both great movies in my opinion but this one was even weirder. The movie was beautifully shot but I was really confused and frustrated because I couldn’t really get the story toward the end.
