    Speak No Evil

    Probably the most thrilling and uncomfortable film I've ever seen. A film about conformity, social norms, romantic relationships, some Biblical stuff, and I bunch more I likely didn't see. Terrifying and thought-provoking.

    I'm not saying it doesn't have flaws -- because it does -- but, God, damn.
