    I was not ready for the middle act to go full slapstick comedy.

    Damn near perfect. I hope the sequels don’t ruin the mystique!

    So much to unpack here... toxic masculinity, loneliness, religion, repression, manipulation, Greek mythology (?). You could have a wildly different interpretation to me and I’m sure I could agree with it.

    Just like The Witch, Robert Eggers’ attention to historical detail is second to none and somehow this film feels exactly like one from the 1890s should.

    Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe for best lead and best support, just saying.
