Absolute depiction of horror. Left out a few other horrifying things from the time period. Like being forced to home school our children. Technically impressive filmmaking and I was on board, up until I wasn’t. Probably will take a rewatch to locate what Aster is actually getting at here, but for a film so loaded with political ideologies and characters occupying varied and nuanced positions around them, there doesn’t really feel like there’s much exploration or conversation about them. It all just feels like it’s there almost purely to locate the time period and drop us in the middle of these horrors.
