    This is one of the better post-scream horror films. Ultimately, you can probably come away from this movie with a "so what?" feeling, but I believe that is because it ties too much of it's lore to sex. The film is most concrete when it leans into the fact that it is really about death, and how it comes slowly towards us all. The major failing of the film is how sex obscures that notion.

    The most amazing cinematic experience of my life. This movie is truly the moment where visual effects and reality blurred together. It is a film that is out to blow your mind, and I deeply appreciate the lengths it goes to achieve that.

    Basically the Leo show, as we watch him partake in an endless supply of sex and drugs for three hours. Turns out that's pretty entertaining. It is much funnier than I expected it to be, and DiCaprio really does kill it. Probably a little too long, but certainly Scorsese's best film since the Departed.
