Waaaaaaaaaay too long. Any good parts would add up to about 4 mins. Sure there's a deeper meaning but that in itself is meaningless and uninteresting. Some are saying it's just a tale about a woman in a toxic relationship. lol The guy was trying to be nice and wait for the right timing and the woman was definitely mental. I've seen a few thousand movies and this is one of the worst I've seen. Ever.
The extended cut doesn't add that much, but it is weird that one scene is in pitch dark. I don't think there were any other night scenes in the movie. Such a great movie.
Love this movie so much. I have watched it about 7 times and will eventually watch it at least 7 more. Ari Aster is a great director.
Interminable and painfully shallow, with another infuriating non-ending just like HEREDITARY. A movie made by imbeciles for imbeciles.
Ridiculous. One of the worst films ever made. But it appears to be satisfying to viewers who don't have any clue about the horror genres. Watch a Val Lewton film instead.
Talentless Ari Aster received inexplicably positive notices for his previous film, the terrible HEREDITARY, so he gets another chance to waste millions of dollars on another piece of crap. This has a wretched script, annoying characters, and another non-ending just like HEREDITARY. Ugh! And it's insufferably pretentious too. Watch a real horror movie instead.
Starts as a bad ripoff of THE WICKER MAN (1973) and gets worse from there. Director Ari Aster doesn't have a good or original thought in his puny little head, and anyone who sat through his previous film -the massively overpraised HEREDITARY- should know to stay away from this crap.
I give it three and a half Stars. It was really creative and original but oddly enough I found a kind of boring. Yes there were a few really sick demented scenes, but I would not call this a horror movie. I went into this movie fairly blind as to not spoil any of it and was a huge hereditary and so I think my expectations were a little too high. Disturbing scenes do stick with you though. They did a very decent realistic portrayal people tripping on hallucinogens. IDK. It was good but long I would never want to watch it again.
Amazing movie!!! If you ever wanted to know what it's like to be apart of a pagan cult like society this is the film for you! Let's just say you will be awed and shocked at the same time. Not for the faint of heart. Very in depth moving down to the finest detail... If you grew up in a deeply rooted religious household, if you ever denounced your faith at some point in your life... you will connect with this movie! If you haven't experienced a deeply religious up bringing or do not believe in anything you most likely will not connect with this and won't understand it... This movie is for the thinker... Societies like this exist in pockets around the world... to the degree of what and whom they worship is left for you to research and find out!!! Very interesting...
This movie makes you feel like your apart of a traditionsl commune cult like setting... It grabs you and pulls you in whether you like it or not. Making one feel what it is to grow up in something you can never let go of... Extremely religious societies like this still exist out there around the world maybe not to the extent of sacrificial ceremonies but to the extent of keeping their ancient traditions alive whether good or bad. Usually sects that are being persecuted for their ways have to seclude themselves from regular society in order to continue their possibly illegal activities.... This movie takes an array of traditional practices and throws it into one twisted basket. It shows what a society can become when it truly becomes lost from the light and truth. Religious people will understand this movie probably more than those who are not grounded in anything...
