Just about perfect. Not a big cinephile, but I found the acting to be pretty high caliber. I’m in love the way the movie sets a horror movie in the context of the real-world nightmares colonialism, whiteness, indigeneity, and war crimes. White womanhood is especially on display within the family unit,
Good.
No part of this was scary, but good acting
Builds tension the whole way through. A slow burn for sure, but a really well-done film that holds your attention. I enjoyed this one a lot.
Slow burn but a great watch.
