    Excellent movie and good release

    Incredible, surreal and disturbing. This movie goes some very dark places. The Blu-ray looks great.

    Reminds me a lot of Kaufman with some Lynch

    Another good film from Ari Aster. Also another brilliant performance from Joaquin Phoenix. His performance alone is enough reason to give this film a try. Aster has a style of his own and it’s always great to see filmmakers take big risks. This is one of those movies that’s so far out there that it’s hard to explain. You just need to watch it. It’s also a film that you just can’t stop thinking about so you end up rewatching it over and over. It’s definitely one of the strangers films I’ve seen in a long time.

    Ari Aster = Master Class Director

    I really enjoyed Ari Aster’s 3rd feature length film! This film received some negative feedback, and while some of that criticism may be very valid, I thought overall, job well done. The film itself is definitely a slow burn, but Joaquin’s performance throughout is stunning. Joaquin is on fire right now!! I think the collaboration between Ari and Joaquin was perfect to help tell this very odd, yet extremely captivating story.

    A Brilliant Film That You Will Want To Watch Again

    Ari Aster does it again. Joaquin Phoenix is brilliant. Such an incredible supporting cast. And most importantly, a thought provoking narrative that touched me on a profound level. The audio mix was overwhelming at times but the picture quality met my expectations.
