A gut-wrenching drama that only gets better the more times you watch it, and the more time you spend thinking about it. There are so many subtle aspects that blow your mind. And as far as first movies go, it's very impressive.
What keeps me from giving it a 10 is the fact Alex Wolff sucks at points. He could look scared, but he couldn't cry. No one else was bad at any point. Not even the little girl! She was actually great! Toni Collette steals the show, though! The computer generated effects were inconsistent. Some looked, some looked pretty good. I also didn't find the movie scary. But granted I'm not someone who's easily scared so that might just be my bias.
Ari Aster is definitely a guy with talent and I'm looking forward to seeing Beau is Afraid, and the Director's Cut of Midsommar.
