Time for a little robot chauvinism!

The intro of the movie hosed me up since its a painful reminder of what my bipolar sister is going through. The rest of the movie I couldn't care less and nothing stood out. Just stick with the wicker man. I would love to see Jordan Peele's take on this. The only characters that become really disturbed by the cult practices all get conveniently killed off camera whereas i would prefer to see them become the surprise protagonist.

Jordan Peele apparently wrote an effusive open letter to Ari Aster calling the film an instant classic that has surpassed The Wicker Man and that he's the greatest living horror director so, expect the ego on his next film to be through the roof.

Overall, outside of the visuals I thought this was rather weak. The characterization is shot from the get-go, we don't get much of a sense for who Dani is except that she's struggling with grief, and I guess reads a lot of books based on her apartment. Without a strong protagonist this all kind of falls part. Real pretty, but Aster needs a co-writer.
