Funny Games
Def a weird one but I didn’t hate it. Loved the constant 4th wall breaks. Was not a fan of how nothing was explained but I get that’s the whole point of it. Another thing I didn’t like was how every kill (except the one that was reversed, also that reverse scene caught me so off guard and was so lost) were all offscreen. This film gives you this weird sense of dread knowing something bad will happen, but you just don’t know what or when and you just have to endure the anticipation until something happens. That fucking egg scene had me mad as hell for Anna like bro had the audacity to ask for her last 4 eggs after breaking the first 8 she gave him 😭. One scene that stood out to me is after they shot the kid; the way the director left that shot lingering for so painfully long was brilliant imo. That minute or 2 felt like HOURS and I just had to sit there with Anna as she takes everything in and tries to gather herself, such a bleak scene. Love a good loop movie but def had me questioning some parts. Also really found that little side bit of the 2 boys calling eachother random tv character duo names so funny for some reason.
