Reading about The VVitch and understanding why it was so appreciated, and recognising how it then resulted in Hereditary and Midsommar, makes a lot of sense. Definitely need to watch The Lighthouse next, but I think I'll break it up with The Matrix first.
@Fenreliania yeah the lighthouse is pretty intense. its a movie that just keeps happening to you
@kyra More or less intense than 10 Cloverfield Lane?
@Fenreliania probably a different type of intensity. there's things in the lighthouse i havent seen in films before, certainly not films with a theatrical release. it gets pretty weird and pretty disturbing; it's oppressive, almost

@Fenreliania I also haven't watched 10 cloverfield lane but I get the impression its a more... normal movie
@kyra 10 Cloverfield Lane is like 2 hours of tension, the constant threat of violence made stronger by amplified stakes, and frequent paranoia. I guess after I watch The Lighthouse I'll let you know how they compare in that regard, but it's not surreal or anything.
