Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeff! And I’d highly recommend this one. Definitely temper yourself though! It’s quite an experience. Have you seen any of Aster’s prior movies?
If you’re a horror fan, Hereditary and Midsommar are two movies I can’t recommend highly enough. If you’re not, Hereditary might be a harder sell. Midsommar is so eerie and cinematically impressive though that you’d probably enjoy it all the same.
I'm not a fan of horror films, though I do like suspenseful films, such as Hitchcock classics like Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest & Psycho, as well as films like Rosemary's Baby, Deceived, Parasite and The Pelican Brief. I love Toni Collette, so really should see Hereditary.
A lot of people consider the role a career best for her! It’s certainly the most impressive role I’ve seen her in. Worth watching for her alone. And if you like some of those others, I expect you’ll find something to enjoy in Hereditary.
You're an excellent and insightful writer, Ben, and your article makes me want to see this film.

You're welcome, Ben. And no, unfortunately I haven't.
