I heard the hype for this one two years ago so I intentionally went in cold and man…this movie fucked with me in a way I’ve never had a movie do in a long, long time.

The writing/acting really elevates the first half which is intentionally derivative, but by the time the second half starts and the story kinda takes a big exhale, that’s when things got really interesting. The soundtrack is kinda bonkers and highly adds to the unnerving nature of the first half. Giovanni Ribisi (who remembers this guy? I sure do!) does a bang up job as cinematographer and the saturation of his work in this just adds to the off kilter weirdness/vibe of the whole piece. It started out as a film I didn’t think I was going to like really, but slowly it became something else entirely that I really dug by the time the credits rolled.
