Literally what messaging

Blocked

Characters literally wax poetically about evil and you don’t get it . It just shows me yall don’t pay attention

Which is crazy cause I was on d****

Willem dafoe directly looks at audience and says the message like 4 times in a row

Sam Levinson needs to be dealt with

rats symbolize Orlok/Dracula in this so rats vs cats I guess

you new to this?

highkey was falling alseep during this and i dont remember the last time i did that in a movie theater

A Complete Unknown

Packed on Christmas

This is genuinely a you problem though

It was a lot to digest at times it knows it . It has well placed jump scares and advancement of plot to grip you more and more just like the characters

It’s definitely not a movie to see without caffeine or d**** but it’s not passive content it does require the user to do some thinking

Again William dafoe directly says many things but there are many epiphany moments and quotables where we as an audience snapped or clapped

Because this has connections to our reality and our own demons

Of saying let us focus on being viewed as successful or accolades or job or money over love costing us everything

Very very feminist story and an utter master class in finally respecting a woman character in horror

Very glad to hear. I can’t get a good gauge on these kinds of movies attendance from where I live.

Some people probably need to see this twice to pick up on the dialogue better and be sure to do it at the first cock crow

i'm not tryna hear german accents

to be clear before anyone says "you are fighting anyone who doesnt like the movie"

nah I respect all opinons

to say a 3 hour piece of art has no messaging or meaning isnt subjectively wrong its objectively wrong

like its simply not the truth. I am not going to say the movie perfect. If you go to movies for explosions , pretty colors and action not everything meant for you so I am wondering why you buy a ticket in the first place

I say the same thing in music section.Going to art in bad faith annoys me because you can see Sonic, Wicked or spend your money on food or something that serves you

this could have 100% on rottent tomatoes all 10/10

same way yall reacted to everything everywhere all at once "its overrated"

movies and all art requires something from the audience there is only so much a movie can do to grip a user

lol wish I saw on Christmas that would have been history

BRICKEd

I was at this theater and had no audio issues and subtitles were on for the needed parts

was closer to front by choice cause contacts and didnt want tall heads

only annoying thing is in like final hour like 5 people went back and forth to bathroom

if your bladder is weak or you drink too much liquids ( I kind of chill before on medium amount) or you ate something that may cause you to poop please sit in exit lane of theater man lol

I'd really love to hear you articulate how this movie is a "very very feminist story," could you please expand on that? What powerful message did you take away from this, that women can have carnal sexual desires and/or that sexual predators can have a lifelong influence? There was nothing profound or particularly interesting about the muddy themes.

It's hilarious to act like a film that uses a significant portion of its runtime lingering on Lily Rose-Depp making the O face while she softly moans like a modern p*** actress is in any way some kind of powerful feminist statement. It's just a dumb horror movie.

I'd also like to hear what thinking was required — Dafoe feeding the audience information is not an "epiphany moment," it's just hamfisted writing. I could've watched the first 45 minutes (the best part by far), fallen asleep like the guy you replied to, and woken up for the ending without being lost at all. Pretty easy to fill in the gaps.

You really think one of the most iconic stories of all time (with a dumb mustachioed twist — and don't you dare use the "but omg all royalty from that region and era looked like that" excuse every Eggers fanboy is spouting) requires some deep thinking to unpack?

You're criticizing mainstream flicks as if this is some artsy low-budget interpretation of the story. It's not. It's a mainstream horror movie, no better or worse than the dumb action movies you're deriding.

It was a 7/10 at best for me, but the reddit takes from #TrueCinemaHeads are really forcing down that rating

oh that nigga really missed the message...

I am actually at starbucks now but waiting for a few more to wake up to fully go in. Also one thing would require me to spoil something it seems you are not connecting. Which I dont want to spoil here

I stand by it having feminist elements and will expound

to have feminist ideals to be clear its not magically "everything is great now.
