Viewing Notes

Hope I don’t regret this!!—> seeing a movie on a Saturday afternoon at a usually busy theater (Woodfield).

Had to move to an entire new row but I managed. (Had movie talkers a couple seats over)

This movie plays so different on the second viewing! And I was so angry bc of it (fuck those kids). I forgot the final sequence but I kept hoping that Grace was doing a number on the kids. Also forgot that it has no ending which my audience let out an audible grown when the credits come up (curious what the Cinemascore will be but I gotta think it will not be favorable). Riley Keough is the real warrior here. Her and the cinematography are outstanding. I really dig that forced perspective and narrowing the space (credit to Gavin for first mentioning that at Cinepocalypse). Really cool stuff w/the camera work.

I still wanna believe that Grace is fine and just fucking with them at the end.
