This one was fun and long winded, but ultimately difficult to digest.
Is this the Truman Show of Horror? Perhaps "The Trauma Show" is a better title. Either way, Aster & co. Deliver a wildly vivid and beautiful but too chaotic for its own good film. Every set, scene and effect are incredibly made. Cinematography and sets 8/10.
The story loses a lot of its steam into the third act and dives further into itself. An implosion of wild plot and confusing events leaves you thinking, but ultimately frustrated with your own conclusions. Story/plot an unfortunate 5/10.
Aster's usual unsettling/uncanny characters are well throughout. Joaquin is a great "struggling man" and manages to put you right inside his head. Performances and audio solid 8/10.
In short, this movie kinda feels like your waiting for your mom to comeback to the grocery line while the cashier stares at you the whole time, surrounded by cheap tabloids with covers also staring at you.
