An admirably tragic run through one family catastrophe

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2020)

In the course of 2018, I heard about the film without giving it all my attention, which I was terribly wrong to do so. This is by far my favorite film of all time.
What the movie transcribes from a rich script relates the unique visual and writing master by Ari Aster. While the camera pans and uses rigid but powerful dolly shots (really close to what Kubrick achieves), several shots strengthen an already spectacular technique in one dutch angle and an upside-down shot. The style, texture, temperature blends a down-to-earth realism with the mad fantasy of the story.
The visceral tragedy and fatality in which the family is torn apart recalls the beauty of greek dramas. Each character is hung to one another with a fishing line, sending every character, one by one, into a yawning abyss. The whole family conveys empathy throughout their very pain. Horror pours, sweats from all the story's walls, characters and twists.
The one and only flaw! Alex Wolff (Peter) doesn't know how to cry.
Everything is as truthful as bonkers. The film sets high hopes on a new generation of horror films in this modern era.
