Pretentious and stupid

Rating: 3/10 (7 September 2019)

As someone who really enjoyed Hereditary, I was curious to see what Ari Aster has done next. Needless to say, I was disappointed with this film as it was everything I didn't want it to be.
Ever since I heard Aster wrote the film during a breakup, my hype severely decreased. I really hate it when people put their own issues into movies because it comes off as pathetic. Two films called "Mother!" and "The House That Jack Built" are great examples of this since both are equally pretentious and nonsensical. While better than those two, this film suffers from similar issues.
The film is way too long, the acting, for the most part, is pretty bad, the music is enough to hurt your ears and there were actually moments where I was laughing at it and not with it which is not a good sign. Ari Aster is just another hack, edgelord filmmaker who has one good film and everything else is just bad and considering that Aster praise Lars Von Trier, he would fit right in with his same style of abysmal filmmaking. Three stars for the incredibly beautiful colors and cinematography and for those unintentional laughs.
