Even on rewatch the cinematography style that Giovanni Ribisi uses here is still a very unique touch, and the plot twists here are still as shocking and you're even able to pick up on small details you probably missed the first time.
Also, that breakfast is still one of the most disgusting yet appetizing meals I think I've ever seen cooked!
I'm going to address something that I don't ever hardly talk about on this platform. I know that Letterboxd has a lot of cinephiles who have accounts that are all about Oscar-worthy films and reviews they put out. I have a few friends I've grown up with that are this way and I have no problem with that. But I haven't cared anything about the Academy Awards or Golden Globe awards in probably a decade. I haven't cared for them…
Damn what a ride! Was not expecting the second and third acts to be so batshit wild and hilarious. Sean Baker's themes of sex workers in small American cities delivers his funniest and most entertaining film to date, all harbored by a powerhouse performance from Mikey Madison. While some of the pacing does feel off in the final act and the subject matter may be hard for some viewers, it's still another amazing slice-of-life filmmaking that we don't see much of now.
Holy shit man, this was actually a much better follow-up than I predicted. It definitely tricks you with the twists that are a little too heavy handed near the end, but the entertainment value and Naomi Scott's performance really makes this a superior sequel in the horror genre.
Also I love when a movie knows about my addiction for the one shot sequences, and that opening 10 minutes was absolutely perfect in mastering anxiety inducing suspense.
