This was fantastic! Loved the way it wrapped overlapping perspectives into a truly cathartic final act. It has some of the best jump scares I've seen in recent memory. Lots of yelps and laughs from the crowd. I've seen some talk online that it's not a horror movie, but I find that's a weird takeaway — sure it's more nuanced and metaphoric than most horror, but I'm not about to tell someone that struggles with horror to check this out. But anyone that does like horror should absolutely give this a go! Super irrelevant side note — I've never seen Julia Garner in anything before, but it distracted me how much she looks like early 00s Justin Timberlake in this.

Watched at Scotiabank Theatre Vancouver in IMAX. They gave out mini posters afterwards! Nice surprise, given it wasn't an early access screening or anything.
