Bleak, contemplative, overwhelming and intimate.
20 profiled raters. Loved most by The Provocateurs; disliked most by The Prestige Hunters.
We read them all: the case for is ruthless_ruth's, the case against is gaz_horror's. Marked below.
Toni Collette at the dinner table is the best acting in a horror film this century and the film around her earns it. The last twenty minutes are a slow fall into a very specific hell.
The dinner scene is the whole film in miniature: a family screaming the true thing at last. Ari Aster then spends forty minutes proving he could have stopped there.
A film about grief that becomes a film about inheritance and never lets you choose which. The dinner scene is horror without a single effect.
A few lines from each review; the whole review is on the critic's site. Not part of Taste Buds's numbers.
