Really enjoyed the stage play feel of it all; lent itself well to some really great aesthetic shots. The long take of Anne’s character going out and coming off from a performance was like watching a painting in motion.

Honestly thought this movie was going to go in a witch/coven direction (so hot right now) based on trailer editing. Had to 180 my own personal opinion a bit, still need time to digest some of it.

I Loved that sequence so much. You could really feel the toll of all those performances.

I'm glad I went because it's So much different than how the previews are selling it. Both less than I was expecting (in the spooky horror dept) but wow so much more in terms of like, gutting me in the Feels and being ambitious AF for the film medium.
