  So so gorgeous
  The world built is tremendous
  The first half dragged and it took a little while to get into it
  I got whiplash moving from the utopian beginning to the violent violence to come

  Fly trap hung from chandelier 
  Watching this with eve of cheer
  Three drinks in I’m feeling it
  Superbad and Shakespeare

  First half good second half bad
  Early aughts fashion and music use fantastic
  Elordi killed it
  Keoghans physicality always impressive

  Interesting film.

  (There was a lot to work with narratively here. I was both surprised and disappointed they didn’t take this in a more interesting/genuinely provocative direction.)

  A nice homage to Lynch
  Gorgeous effects
  And a nice reminder that no matter what the story is always just the story and taking that step is just taking that step. 
  The world is scary and what I think I like most about David Lynch’s work and resonated through this film too is that the world is scary. And silly and filled with absurdity and contradiction and psychedelia and wolf demons,
  And that’s just how it is. That’s just what we’ve got.
  The score was by a member of Animal Collective? That tracks
  Dear lord please protect Sandy always,
  amen.
