| Showings |
A paranoid man embarks on an epic odyssey to get home to his mother.
There’s more than enough absurdist madness here to delight, infuriate and exasperate in equal measure.
★★★
Aster’s film takes the so-traumatic-it’s-funny sequences of his previous work and spins them into a three-hour comedy of bad vibes and ritual humiliation. It’s as memorable, audacious, and indulgent as you’d hope from A24’s most expensive film to date.
★★★★
It’s pure, uncut Freudian spectacle: an epic of guilt and shame writ IMAX large, exorcizing familial demons on a bigger budget than A24 has ever shelled out.
