Letterboxd — Your life in film

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I went into this movie expecting something dumb and schlocky, and got the exact opposite. The script creates a really engaging and tense family dynamic, further amplified by Vera Farmiga and Sam Rockwell's compelling performances. And aside from the antagonizing little boy, this is one of the most realistic and darkly funny portrayals of marriage and parenthood I've seen, and easily the best portrayal I've seen of postpartum depression. This isn't horror, it's a drama that stressed me out to the extreme.

I respect Kirsten Dunst's fat tits.

Head empty, no thoughts. Jesus has a knife and the lizard is wearing a sombrero.

This film shaped western psychological horror, but instead of analyzing that I will simply say that Elizabeth Pena was really fucking hot in the nineties.

The only disturbing part of this Salo is the shit eating, you guys are just wimps. I actually just rewatched it because I'm waiting for someone to write an essay comparing the Epstein scandal to this film.

It's Black Swan better executed, a pop culture exploration of patriarchal violence and contemporary fame. It's a battle between reality and the idealized self, between adolescence and sexualization, that's still painfully relevant.

It's an unhinged technicolor farce of dream and nightmare, while also mocking post World War II conservatism and traditional coming-of-age stories. I want to live in an acid trip where teenage girls can be eaten by pianos.

very underrated kids movie

If you don't think of it as an adaptation of a book, it's an original horror series that has unusually good character development and remains engaging the whole time. I really loved the way the sixth episode was filmed. Absolutely nothing like the book though.

Definitely intriguing. Couldn't stop wondering about what it all meant for a few days.

Manages to make the tropes of the zombie genre feel fresh and exciting
