    Midsommar left me depressed for about a week, so I emotionally detached myself while watching Hereditary by playing on my phone lol. I totally skipped Beau is Afraid.

      I’m gonna spoil something but literally at the end of Beau is Afraid, the audience just disconnects and leaves uncaringly at his misery.

      Like that movie is a layer of meta meta meta commentary about the people watching his films and also the misery of existence itself. It’s not good but it’s definitely art.

      Oof, not the best movies to watch after another.

      That was also a movie I wanted to see, but after Hereditary I thought “nah, I’m good”. Probably won’t watch another Ari Aster film, ever.
