Biggest garbage of 2021
Are people braindead? Or im incredibly smarter? Wtf i just watch? Better see Titanic for the 71th time. How do you rate this more then 2,3 stars? The only good thing is the landacape and mountains views. Stupid story. This garbage makes Midsommar look goos. And that was utter trash. Hahahahahahahahahhaha.

Completely unexpected
Between the trailer for this movie and the classification of it being a horror film, I didn't know what to expect. After seeing it, I can truly say I'm still just as mystified.
This movie is in a genre all its own. It is like no other. That is not a bad thing; it's just...different.
To start with, the movie's setting is breathtaking. It draws you in immediately. In addition, the silence at the beginning of the film; the fact that the cast is very small; the slow progression of the story; the simplicity of the characters lives. Everything envelopes you, engages you, intrigues you.
You feel like you are being read a book, and this is what you are imagining in your head. And when it's over, you aren't sure what you just experienced. You definitely want to talk to someone else who experienced it too though. I don't know that it will be for everyone.
