Cure

A very hypnotic film that I feel will only get better the more you rewatch it. I loved the acting, the story was great (it reminded me of Longlegs in a way, but I much preferred this), and every scene felt like it was held for just the right amount of time and shot just the right way. There's a lot of magic to be held within editing, and this film does a great job of showing that magic. There's good commentary here about repression and just how close people can be to violence as well. It's hard to find what exactly is preventing me from rating this higher -- maybe it's just the fact that the ending was a little confusing? As mentioned, I imagine if I watch this again with all of the context I have now, I would like it much more. Definitely check it out if you haven't seen it before, really incredible film overall.
