I watched this because Ari Aster and Bill Hader referenced it on the recent a24 podcast, and wow, was this a great movie. Tight storytelling with very interesting editing and sequencing. You don’t learn a lot about the characters, but they are incredibly fleshed out both visually and with the performances. Great early soundtrack by Cliff Martinez sets the tone beautifully, and just an all-around great efficient crime caper.
