1) This is a movie that you've got to watch it at least twice, in order to understand it better. Simultaneously, this is a movie that most of the viewers will be able to watch it only once.
2) Ari Aster fell victim to his own brilliance. Brilliance is one thing. Taming our own brilliance is another. If you don't know how to handle/deal with your ideas, instead of owning them, they are the ones that own you. There is a masterpiece beneath this pile of weirdness. There is a story of a broken man that got paralysed by his environment. This could be a magnificent allegory about every struggling, depressed person. Instead, the viewer watched these terrible last 30 minutes, minutes that changed the nature of this movie. Ridiculous "monsters" in the attic and an overused Oedipus complex.
3) The "forest scene", i mean what happened in the forest play, is one of the greatest scenes of this millennium. Seriously, had it ended there, this would be a masterpiece. It could also ended in the scene with Phoenix and Rosey (you can understand what scene i mean) and this would still be a great movie. But, no, we had to watch the gibberish of the last 30-ish minutes.
4) In conclusion, i definitely recommend for any art lover to watch this movie. Congratulations to A24 who funded this artistic creation. Please, don't be discouraged. This is an overambitious artistic creation that failed. But i prefer a thousand times something like this, instead of all these dumb/repetitive movies which literally have nothing to offer to a demanding moviegoer.
