Slow moving, but the ending makes it all worth it.

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2019)

This movie is very good...bordering on great.
The ending really ties everything together. The only thing holding it back from a 9 or 10 rating is that it's a 2 hour movie, that should've probably been 30 minutes shorter. A lot of down time, but the last 20 minutes are insane. If you find yourself almost giving up on it... don't. It's worth getting through.
After it ended, I pieced together about 95 percent of the story... if you don't figure it out for yourself, or really even if you think you do, it's worth reading an explanation article AFTERWARDS.
It's quite an intelligent story, and world the writer has created. It's a thinking movie, but also with almost a "slasher" feel.
The movie was critically acclaimed and loved by critics... but received mixed reviews by the general public. I know the directed has just released Midsommer with a similar feel to it, but I really hope at some point he puts out a sequel to this one. Or at the very least a movie within the sane world as this one, as he leaves the ending opened up to A LOT of possibilities.
Good Stuff.
