  The Coffee Table 2022

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  Quick Ups and Downs:

  + This movie is fucked up. No, really. It’s FUCKED UP. It’s mesmerizing and shock inducing and crazy and so gosh darn fucked up. 

  + The acting across the board is perfect. David Pareja and Estefania de los Santos are spot on perfect in their roles. 

  - The last two minutes or so are a little tacked on and probably could have been cut. 

  - You simply MUST go into it knowing nothing, yet at the same time, it’s going to be traumatic for some viewers and they should get to know that in advance. So it’s conflicted like that. 

  OVERALL: Great

  - There are aspects of the movie that don't matter and probably should have…

  I will copy the review I wrote in the immediate aftermath of watching Midsommar below for more in-depth…
