    This was not my first viewing of this movie, but I was still surprised at multiple turns. The constant shifting of power dynamics throughout this movie is a work of art on its own. Ugh I love this movie so much.

    I found it to be mediocre from a horror movie perspective, and it didn’t have anything interesting or thoughtful to say about religion. However!!!! I loved this Hugh Grant performance and the Radiohead scene was maybe the funniest thing I’ve seen in a movie over the past year. And the Jar-Jar Binx joke. I think the humor was by far the best part of this one.

    I see now why this movie have been divisive. If you have never wished your mother was dead - this movie is probably not going to make any sense to you. For me (and I assume others with mothers like this), it was like romping through the deepest, darkest part of my psyche. 

    Every once in a while, I am reminded that every narcissistic mother is the same. They may look different and say things with slightly different wording, but…

    Watched in a cabin in Gatlinburg while twins were napping and everyone else was tubing. 

    Madame Bovary is the reference, but Sarah reminded me more of Edna Pontellier.
