It’s pretty to look at, sure, but it’s void of any plot. There’s some hints of a good movie peeking out, but they’re all covered by needless filler and an overly long runtime that really could have been MUCH shorter.

Finally a breakup film for the arthouse gang!
All jokes aside though, this review is gonna be very incoherent. This is one of those films that are just very hard to form thoughts on after watching.
Ari Aster makes existential horror for the modern generation. And I fucking love it.

Yeah... this is just as good as everyone says it is. I was really blown away by it, in ALL aspects.
Not only is it beautiful to look at, it’s a beautiful story as well. It gets you under its spell, leaving you utterly entranced and amazed at every single second, and not even just about the technical elements either.
It encapsulates everything I love about sci fi, and even adds some more elements to it that aren’t as utilized in the genre, but it all works out in the end and fits together perfectly.
