I mean, it was kinda sweet, but very obvious. I enjoyed half of the story and the end. I know what they wanted to achieve, but it was a bit too much on the nose. Still kinda wholesome.
Absolutely amazing! I have been kinda in anxiety mode for the last couple of days, and this movie gave me the rest. But in a good way! Right from the beginning, there was something dark and strange to feel until the very last second. It grabbed me and slowly dragged me down with it. But there is also so much wholesomeness within the family that I felt this could only go right. I felt with Curtis and wanted everything to stop, too, because this slowly ride into some kind of madness didn't just drain him. Combined with the overall atmospheric tone and subtle use of music, this movie just mesmerized me. Everyone is doing a fantastic job bringing everything into perspective, and I needed some time to actually calm down a little. Even though I don't really know what to do with the ending, I loved this movie and had a stressful yet wonderful time watching it.
Yikes, this was very nasty and mean. I had no idea it will be so gross sometimes. Someone definitely wanted to trigger some phobias in this one. It caught be off guard, and this old, strange movie made me feel very uncomfortable. But between those scenes it's kinda a dreamy and atmospheric horror movie. The music was not always on point but contributed to the overall anxiety. I have to admit, that the second half almost lost me, it got a little bit hard to follow what was the actual problem now until it kinda revealed itself, very anticlimactic. The ending though was very poetic and together with the nasty horror elements this movie definitely deserved some extra credit. I guess I was a little bit overhyped, but still had a good time.
Wow, what a movie. I was really prepared for anything but this. A confusing game of light drama and dark thriller. Even if the film can be watched calmly at times, you are always pulled back into reality and confronted with scary and oppressive moments. Tim Robbins plays his role excellently and manages to maintain a solid facade that only one self can break through. I love it when films don't hand everything to the viewer on a silver platter. Here you have to decide for yourself what is true and what is not and what that means for you. Even though I wouldn't necessarily classify the film as a typical horror film, the subject is of course more than real and disturbing. In any case, the film gives you a lot to think about and definitely needs to be watched more often to be able to grasp the whole thing. A great and important movie.
