Obsession
genuinely movie of the year
curry barker is a genius, obsession is paced so well and the topic it covers is such an important one. as far as media literacy goes, a person's understanding of this movie should tell you a lot about them.
all of the acting is outstanding, but inde navarrette truly shines as nikki. her performance is comforting at the beginning, utterly chilling throughout, and heartbreaking at the end.
the lighting and cinematography feels so good to watch, and the symbolism in the movie is also very well thought out. i also thought the scares were so good, especially the uncanny stuff like nikki walking backwards.
the movie is not only scary in the moment, but also disturbing and incredibly thought provoking to me. i haven’t been able to stop thinking about it for the last couple weeks.
i can’t say a single negative thing about this movie, i’d maybe go as far as to say it’s my favorite movie of the decade. 11/10, phenomenal work by everyone involved in the film.
