This review may contain spoilers.
i have no problem with long movies, nor slow movies, nor movies that are vague and have a bunch of different interpretations. i just watched Skinamarink and its just like that but even slower and even more vague, i enjoyed that one a lot
didnt enjoy this movie, more specifically the ending. i loved the ritual scene it was very intense, the daughter’s actor is insaneee idk how she screams like that and screams for so long throughout the movie.
i did not enjoy the back and forth of “oh hes good, oh hes bad, oh hes good actually!, oh hes bad”
the comedy for the first 45mins was acceptable i suppose, but it couldve been cut (or most of it, leave some in to show he’s a bumbling cop compared to what he becomes at the end?)
