It doesn't quite match "Hereditary", but "Midsommar" really was superb, a breath of fresh air in an incredibly stale market. After Lynch and the Coens (who've been winding down for a decade), Aster is the only active American filmmaker who demonstrates ingenuity and enjoys access to nationwide distribution.
"Cold War" is likely to justify its hype; Pawlikowski has a keen eye and an able cast at his disposal. I've procrastinated its screening because its themes are so shopworn, and I'm just exhausted with WWII and the postwar era.
UPDATE: NO, PARASITE IS THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN IN THE ENTIRE YEAR
YES YES I WATCHED THAT ON MY BIRTHDAY, FIRST R FILM WO MY PARENTS AND EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING !!!
I really enjoyed it a lot!! It made me feel a lot of stuff
