It was a nice movie, I enjoyed the plot double twist of it. Where you think she has to make the handsome guy love her, then she figured out she loved her best friend but she loved her self more an didn't need anybody to complete her. I would rate this movie a sold 7 out of 10. It was humorous and addicting, I could watch it repeatedly!!

I enjoyed watching it, but I enjoyed my husband's reaction to it even more. It was gory and funny, a great combination.

I also saw Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes Of Grindelwald which I like a lot but it was kind of confusing at times; I give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars

I have to say, the cinematography was AMAZING! It was such a beautifully shot film. I just couldn't get over how disappointed I was by the ending. Maybe that's because I missed something, though. I'm tempted by your recommendation to re-watch it, but I think I have to give it some time. That scene where they're heading back from the party is still fresh in my mind._Delly_01 wrote: ↑21 Feb 2019, 15:09 Hereditary. That movie really messed with my head. The cinematography of the entire film was done so incredibly well, and the actors and actresses were brilliant. If you've seen the movie once already, and you enjoyed it, watch it again. I promise there's stuff you've missed between the red herrings, and it's going to mess with you harder when you don't follow the camera's obvious lead. That's the most unnerving part... When I watched the movie all over again, I felt like I was staring into the eyes of a monster just a breath away, and finally realised it. That ultimate gut-dropping dread and terror is something I'll never forget. 9.5/10!

Oh God... There are no words for that scene. My eyes were glued, but my brain had a 404 error. It was such a realistic and visceral experience. I still can't shake it, and I saw it months ago. I'm sorry the ending was a let down for you. Another re-watch will help-- when you're ready of course.Amber Nichole wrote: ↑21 Feb 2019, 20:34I have to say, the cinematography was AMAZING!

I should correct myself and say it's not so much that there are red herrings. It's more misdirection, where one moment the camera focuses on a particular thing, and then doesn't, and likes to mess with your mental perception and visual perspective. One example is the infamous hallway scene where it pans upside-down to right-way-up when Annie goes to see Joanne. Every scene and frame matters, and nothing is wasted.
The opening scene of the tree-house-- with the fly on the window-- where the camera pans into the model home to begin the movie, also ties into the very last scene of the movie. It comes to a full circle. Pay attention to the theme of 'neutrality' throughout the movie. Such as Steve's position in the family, and Annie's 'neutral reconstruction' of the party scene aftermath. This is where the sparring between light and shadow, day and night, and model homes and family history comes into play. Especially the candles and houselights as the movie grows darker.
If you can, watch it on a laptop with headphones. The music and sound effects felt a bit like a guide during my re-watch. I can't be sure, but I think they might be binaural beats. They certainly felt like it.
There is so much going on in the movie, and I want to tell you everything, but I really don't want to ruin it for you. Just know that if anything feels ironic or too-on-the-nose-- it's very, very, very dark humour. Black humour doesn't even cover it. Paimon is the god of Mischief, after all.
