Weapons
Watching again because I just picked up the 4K steelbook and I’m in awe of it again! I love this movie so so much and can see it going into my top 100 at some point! Still a fucking MASTERPIECE!!!!
It’s so so nice in 4K and the atmos and vision makes it pop!
Julia Garner is magnetic, Josh Brolin quietly devastating, and Amy Madigan’s “Aunt Gladys” might be one of the most quietly terrifying performance I’ve seen in so so long. Zach Cregger’s control of tone is unreal.
On rewatch, the little details hit harder: the symbols, the repeated numbers, the way certain words and objects keep circling back. Nothing’s random. Every thread ties into loss, addiction, and the monsters we invite in.
I’m battling myself in my head trying to decide which is better between this or one battle after another! Both masterpieces! It’s a great debate to have with yourself that we got two masterpieces in the same year! For now, it’s weapons but I’ll have to watch one battle again to make my final decision!
