#I’m eating my words and God help me but yes. The movie is too long.#I’ve finally found my pick for The Movie Is Too Long. I’m ashamed.#great dark absurdism and surprisingly one of the better examples of magic realism in recent years but so little of the whole congeals#the parts don’t tether together as well as I think they need to#none of Hereditary’s right structure and none of Midsommar’s leisure dread so I just sort’ve cruised the whole time?#Patti LuPone acts circles around literally everyone else#also the entire first fourth in the city was SO Miller and Robocop#but there’s a whole discussion to be had on building a world where every anxiety and fear of homeless people is real and literal#anyway.#Aster’s disaster.#I’m sorry Ari but the penis monster did not fucking work lmfao
