    ★★★½

    Listened to Sean Fennessey’s interview of Oz Perkins on the Big Picture which gave me some more appreciation for the film. The Silence of the Lambs parallels were very intentional and Longlegs is Oz’s love for serial killer movies while also being his avenue for critique on the sub-genre. Learning more about Perkins’ creative vision definitely makes me appreciate Longlegs more, but I still have the same issue with the ending.

    Just wow this is breathtaking. From the score to the performances to everything we see on screen, this is a masterpiece. Such strong thematic storytelling that finds the great space where things are clearly in front of you but not heavy handed. Artists creating stories about artists can sometimes feel self indulgent, but Corbet shows us the flaws of our protagonist early and often in a way that’s self aware but not necessarily a self insert.
    With a killer score…
