The 3 hour run time is the only reason I’m not going to the theatre for this. Hereditary is my favorite horror movie.

So I’ll be waiting til I can watch this from the comfort of my home.

Author of 12+ years here. I'm aware that screen writing is different from novel writing in many aspects, but every single writing class will teach you this first: *When writing your story, always revise, keep the plot simple but the characters complex. In other words - Keep it Simple, Stupid.* and some of the best novels and films out there are simple in plot, but complex in character.

[@RPKraul]

Even Aster’s biggest fans shouldn’t accuse him of being a good writer. While it’s clear Aster is highly influenced by Bergman, he’s not in the same stratosphere as a storyteller.

I loved most of it. Hated the ending. But I can't stop thinking about it, so I'll end up watching it again. Anyway, really appreciate your point about the discourse around the movie. People are allowed to have their own opinion. The movie is not THAT deep, and I think a lot of the absurd stuff is just the director having fun with people's expectations of everything being meaningful (that was the comedy of it for me). Liking it doesn't make you pretentious, I mean, I liked it but I don't pretend to have understood everything about it. And disliking it doesn't make you stupid, because the movie has many flaws.

Discussion and debate with anything in this world anymore feels next to extinct, but it’s so necessary and needed. I love how you always speak from your heart. Whether you love something or hated it and how you always provide context. That’s why I resonate with your channel. Idk how I felt about this film. Part of me loved it. Part of me hated it. I laughed. I cried. I almost fell asleep. I felt like I downed an entire bottle of edibles and felt the weight of the earth. One thing is certain though, Aster is a tremendous talent and seems to weave all of his narratives with grief and fate. This one is growing on me. No pun intended.

[@mania4270]

@@kketchie1 ever since movies and politics got mixed in with each other, it's been impossible. But hey I can't blame politics because before that everyone had this 10/10 mindset that if the movie wasn't a masterpiece, it was bad. Many reviewers lost credibility too by putting more of their emotions and their own politics into the reviews. That's why I like Cody or 3c because it's just a guy sharing an opinion on something he just watched. And he's not being over the top, not trying to portray some character, just a guy talking about movies. And then I believe film discussion needs to move away from horror movies and blockbusters. Dramas and comedies are rarely reviewed. I legit had to search KZbin for an American pie review because nobody watches comedy films anymore or they haven't been a part of "nerd" culture. Generally speaking, what takes up most of the discussion now are blockbusters and whether the remakes or resequels are good and I think we are missing many other genre that's not just focused on fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and action. It's like how everyone dissed avatar because it didn't have a strong nerd following like star wars, marvel, or Harry Potter. Most of these discussions kinda felt like gate keeping. This review was good because he's just letting ppl know these movies aren't for him. I think now ppl are so triggered given the state of the world and social media.

I used to think that sometimes we should give movies a chance even if we are not connecting with it, but really it's just using up time that could be put elsewhere on something you enjoy. I loved a lot of A24 films. The VVitch and The Lighthouse being some of my favorite films of the decade, but take something like It Comes At Night for example. I almost walked out. I don't like to waste times on movies that I'm bored with anymore, and I turn them off no matter how far in I am when I'm at home.

I disagree with you but really appreciate your thoughts, glad your out here making reviews. I am typically a fan of art films and am sorry that you have had such bad experiences with people in the art film circle. It's all subjective and there are certainly different strokes for different folks haha. I am also sorry that you weren't able to enjoy it though, I hope you do give Ari Aster a chance in the future though, as you said his talent is truly top-tier when it comes to story directions. Cheers, and hope you are doing well.

What other people think of a movie or what they think of me because of my thoughts doesnt bother me at all. I will always continue giving my thoughts and I think you should keep going with Ari Aster. Dont worry about what others say or think. You are a good reviewer, just need to ignore the idiots out there. Great review! Even though its three hours long, i will still watch it, because ive liked his other movies.
