Obsession

I’ve been sitting with how I feel about this movie for a few days. This shit was genuinely amazing and I already need to rewatch it. Absolutely terrifying from the start. Humans are truly batshit insane. And honestly as someone who knows I’ve projected a lot onto women before, this movie felt terrifying even before the wish happened. What was crazy is how perfectly it rode the line of her being absolutely terrifying while also being just as much the victim, actually more. Her performance genuinely had my jaw on the floor the entire movie. Might end up being my favorite performance all year. I love movies where people feel like these heightened, artful, almost unbearable versions of real humans. Like Possession or Punch Drunk Love. Just people unraveling in ways that feel ugly and honest and way too real.

She really went there. The thing that stuck with me was how fearless it felt. I was genuinely in awe watching it unfold. Like aside from the fact she’s gorgeous, it was really that level of commitment that got me. Definitely going back to see this. Hit way too close to home.
