Holy forking shirt balls. This film is pretty bonkers and I won’t spoil anything. I liked it but—like Darren Aronofsky’s Mother!, Ari Aster films and other arty horror films—it’s a lot to digest and not for everyone. Robert Pattinson and Willem Defoe are both great, the film is masterfully shot and crafted,, but I’m not entirely sure what it’s trying to say. I JUST saw it so I’m still processing. If I were to grade my initial impressions, I’d say between a B+ and an A. I wanted it to end and yet I wanted to see it again.
I did find The Witch—which I loved—more accessible. I’ll say that much.
