I'm curious to see your opinion.
I like Ari Aster, but I shut this off after about 30 mins.
So…where to begin? A little mix of Kaufman and Lynch for sure. I actually liked it. I got interrupted twice, so I would like to see it in its entirety. I definitely understand why people wouldn’t like it. The whole part with Amy Ryan and Nathan Lane could have been cut out, but there were times when the movie felt like “huge” for lack of a better term. The first act was kinda surreal but a total play on his psyche and fears. The play was my favorite part, to be honest. Just something about it felt very profound. The end was entertaining but a little anticlimactic. I will add one thing, Parker Posey can definitely still get it, that part was freaky.
Is it up there with his first two movies? No. But, happy to have seen it and would say it’s thought provoking and kinda makes you think about your own life in a way and I’d say that always makes for a better than decent movie. Note: didn’t realize that was Bill Hader on the phone as the UPS guy.
One thing I have to add, from watching all his movies, is this guy must have one hell of a family.
