Holy shite, this is the trippiest movie I’ve seen in a long time. So many freaky wtf moments. Like really weird

I thought I was actively going to hate it because some of this weird stuff is a bit too much but I thought it somehow worked to a certain extent.

While a movie like midsummer failed because it was weird and emotionless. This movie actually works on a few different t levels. There are some weird funny moments. There were some moving moments , and some truly truly truly fricked up moments that you just watch in suspended disbelief

I wanted to take a shower after Midsommer. Not so much after this.

Saw the reactions and didn’t waste my time with it in theaters, it’s on prime now though and I have it on my list
This is the same guy that did call me by your name also, kind of a disappointing follow up. Wonder if he will get his career back on track

I thought it was way too long and mostly boring. Tilda Swinton was great in all of her roles and the ending was good too. Very different from the original.

I was never bored. I was annoyed in parts and wished it could have gone quicker through some parts but I wasn’t bored. It is super long.

They added 1 while hour to the original, I don’t think that was necessary

I could have done without flashbacks. Also, don’t think we needed all the jazz on 1970s/1980s German politics. I also thinks one scenes. Oils have been shot faster. But there was a lot more going on in the movie and it worked.

Also, Tilda Swindon was unbelievable in this

I liked it. Never saw the original, so can't compare. I'm not a horror fan, generally speaking, because the ones that I see usually stink. But Suspiria was certainly better than most. Swinton rocked as always. She owns her roles.

As an aside I'd like to say that I appreciate your well-rounded taste in movies, athens.

I believe it was you who turned me on to Aferim! a while back, one of the better movies I've seen in some years. Almost a horror movie unto itself, in a way. Anyhow, thanks!

The ending of Aferim was definitely a horror movie. That was horrifying to watch


But alas, there are movies I can’t even watch yet.

Critics love “Its hard to be a God”.

I watched the first 15 minutes and thought it was the most revolting horrific movie I’ve ever seen in anything mainstream:

Everyone has their own cinematic development that enables them to view movies in a different way.

I just think my cinematic development is very very different than most people

Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's Hard to be a God? I won't comment on that one other than to say that I find it to be one of the finest things that I've ever seen put to film!

But such is the subjective beauty of movies, right? One may find merit and insight into this or that movie, while another does the same with this and that other.

Hell, one may find merit in a movie but still not enjoy it that much on a personal level.

All of that is as it should be. Long live the movies!


BTW, from what little I know, I'd say that your cinematic development is far advanced compared to most of us. I mean, most of us Americans are too lazy to watch any foreign movies at all. None. At. All.

And we're missing out. I mean, we are really, really, really, really, really, really, truly missing out. Sweet feathery Jesus, are we ever missing out!
