Maika Monroe Reads Your Longlegs Reviews

[@YungM.D.]

Spoilers: That one review, for those who didn’t catch it themselves, is referring to a part during the psychic test where Lee is briefly shown an inverted triangle and gives the associated word ‘Father.’ Longlegs’ murder dates are done specifically to be drawn together as an inverted triangle, often a symbol in occult rituals With the revelation Longlegs had been living under her childhood home for years and she was partially controlled by one of the dolls herself, it’s interesting she’s have that subconscious response to the image.

[@stevethomas74]

SPOILER TALK: "With the revelation Longlegs had been living under her childhood home for years" Ahhh, I think you just cleared up something that left me slightly puzzled when I saw this last month at the cinema (loved it btw). I did wonder at the scene where 'Lee' wakes up just before getting that phone call to go to her bosses' daughter's birthday party? I remember thinking "Hang on? Isn't that Longlegs' lair/workshop?' Nice one, Yung! 😉

[@adamluther5836]

So the question becomes, are we to assume Longlegs was in fact her biological father all along, or simply a subconscious stand-in (Mr. Downstairs) for the Devil instead?

[@stevethomas74]

@@adamluther5836 My guess is that I don't think he was her father, only from that scene where he's shown ready to kill Lee's mother? But then she is spared so she can carry carry out the plans of turning up at people's houses with the prepared doll for each child etc. Unless I missed something here? I've only seen it the once and I'll definitely be getting a hold of that at some point.

[@adamluther5836]

@@stevethomas74 Really hard to say, the movie seems to deliberately never mention Lee's father in any way. I sort of thought the whole birthday on the 14th was meant to circle back directly to Lee, and the fact her mom made a deal to spare Lee, only for them to have a doll in their own house that whole time anyways? Just kinda feels like an odd loose end?

[@dianadelacruz9077]

One of the best films of the year (in my opinion) I had a terrible time watching it, I loved it!

[@anthonytran8850]

I really enjoyed the cinematography and acting. My only issue was the direction of the movie around like 60-70% of the film. Otherwise it was a great horror movie. Amazing still shot usage, and was such a breath of fresh air given the horror movies we've been recently getting

She was in Watcher, which deserves more attention than it got

I just watched this recently and you’re so right. I loved it.

[@TalonsOfFire]

Great actress, and Longlegs is one of the very best horror films of the decade so far. Perkins is a phenomenal director, I think Anthony would be proud

[@Elvira-k3r]

Agreed!

[@marcusporras9571]

During the psych test, she says mother to an image of a rectangular box that looks like the box the dolls come in. Then, right after, she says father to an upside down triangle. Very interesting indeed. Edit* spelling

I just saw the movie today and I gotta say that it's a really good movie and the performances are just chilling

Shout out to the Letterboxd editors for dropping some Disasterpiece-esque tunes for this.

It's crazy to see her being this fun and talkative, that speaks volumes of her performance in the movie. Kiernan Shipka had a similar effect on me, after I saw her in The Blackcoat's Daughter, seeing her real personality was fascinating. Both actresses are top tier level.

[@adamluther5836]

Everyone has been talking about how much of a Scream Queen Monroe has become (a title she seems less than supportive of), but I think many are forgetting how much of one Shipka has become in her own right as well.

[@riayisaacs2571]

You should try Watcher as well. She's absolutely phenomenal in that. It's a slowburn thriller type horror and it gets under your skin in a subtle way. But her acting is just fantastic in that. Then it's a trio of great modern horror masterpieces.

[@masteronionnorth2341]

Maika gave an outstanding and convincing performance in this movie. Very different from her performances in Watcher and It Follows.

[@SuperDesignermatt]

Someone needs to cast Maika Monroe and Mia Goth in the same movie.

[@MrBuketman]

Might as well throw Willa Fitzgerald(Strange Darling) to the list for scream trio of the year.

[@riayisaacs2571]

Willa and Maika would outact Mia so intensely. Mia is all dead eye screaming. Maika and Willa have more nuanced acting abilities that extend beyond just one crazed whiny type of performance. Every Mia Goth performance is the same to me.

So what that one comment said about recontextualizing her was referring to the scene where the triangle flashes on screen and she says Father. It implies that Longlegs is also her Father and not just "the man downstairs" which he literally was living under her feet the whole film.
