Perplexing choices with the film's editing makes it a nauseating experience, burying fine work of its soundtrack and crafts. Austin Butler is rather charismatic, prosthetics covered Tom Hanks not so much.

Its intense character exploration through punishing sound design and performance is very impressive, taking a simple setup and twisting it around.

Florence Pugh and Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour comedically, make the material seem much more interesting than it actually is on the page. Competent all around but the action never feels dangerous.

Stick around for the whole review for this rather pointless after-Frowneys scene, that will tell you that more reviews are coming, even though you already knew that.

Robert Eggers hits it out of the park yet again, this time with a bigger budget. Fantastic production details draw you in, acting in long takes keeps it immersive and the ending leaves a mark.
