Dying to see this. Never did I think I’d live to see Soderbergh make a ‘proper’ horror film. I’m feeling better today, so looking forward to this on the big screen.

In an utterly empty cinema, too. Lucky me. This happens a lot, but still crazy. I’m glad things are still being screened, though I do wonder if any cinemas apart from Everyman at £25 per ticket will still be around in 10 years.
Oh my God, the Harrison Ford ‘Don’t Make Him Angry’ ad is brilliant and hilarious. I must show it to my father.
As expected, I really enjoyed this. Many aspects of it.
Soderbergh does love his long takes and strange camera angles. They’re somewhat migraine-inducing but they do work here.
I love the dad. He is cool. That being said, I don’t know if anyone is meant to like/relate to Lucy Lui’s character and the son, but as always, I do.

I understand the message about promiscuous youth (even if it’s less true nowadays, heh, as it were), but the fact the sister ****s this random guy within twenty minutes of knowing him is just bizarre and tragic. She doesn’t even get to take a look at any of her brother’s other friends, doesn’t even consider her options. I guess this is ‘normal’ nowadays and Soderbergh’s point is also that it’s normal (and of course he does show the guy isn’t to be trusted, but he doesn’t even make Chloe reluctant, like she’s got no standards or preferences or analytical skills whatsoever, dear Lord — which, again, I suppose it’s because of her PTSD/depression), but wtf.

I genuinely feel sad for the family members who just want to live, have fun, spend money, enjoy themselves, but are forced to babysit someone ‘vulnerable’/messed-up/depressed. I’ve been there, and I really isn’t fair at all. Anyway, the bit about present, past and future being one is also awesome — my favourite people Moorhead and Benson love that concept.
