Watching a movie without any context
**Note:** Results may vary!! ——— Typed "romance" into Max, and it recommended The Piano Teacher (Michael Haneke, 2001), so... I watched it. No spoilers, but imagine my suprise when it turned out to be an erotic psychological drama about a sexually repressed piano teacher and her sadomasochistic relationship with her pupil (and her mother). It was unexpected, grotesque, and quite frankly, distressing. There’s both an understanding and a deep ambivalence to the story and the main protagonist that kept pulling me back, even though I had to take a break and watch it over the course of two days. Anyway! It was definitely a gripping watch, and I appreciate any movie that compels me to feel so deeply—in any way, even if I’m writhing in my seat😅.

the killing of a sacred deer (2017)
i have such a hard time getting through movies, its brutal and unfortunate. i am fully aware im missing out on some critical pieces of art in consequence, but if isnt both predominantly psychological thriller and as quickly paced as oppenheimer, its super hard to keep me engaged. i will talk about this movie until the end of time. despite minimal dialogue and the most clinical atmosphere to be captured by means of cinematography, the lack of information and consequential unpredictability kept me thoroughly enticed and fully unnerved for the full two hours. minimalism weaponized for max intensity with no certain direction; epitomization of surrealist thriller. watching it for the first time without context nor any expectations is an invaluable experience.

the substance (2024)
Went to the theater after my shift yesterday to catch a showing and it made me want to treat myself better What a movie though. The cinematography is very strong and I appreciated its feminist commentary. I highly recommend it if you don't mind body horror, which I thought wasn't even that bad but then the final act happened lmao "In the meantime, take care of yourself."

Red rooms (2023)
I expected this to be graphic considering its subject matter but it’s a purely psychological thriller with a twisted bent. This movie gave me chills and deeply unsettled me in ways I was not expecting!!! brilliant commentary on the nature of true crime content, with realistic depictions of technology… The lead is an incredibly fascinating and complex female character. highly recommend if you haven’t seen it…
