WAVES (2019)
Grade: B
Strong film in every way. The way it was shot, dialogue, story, the twists, took risks. Strongly recommend watching. Taylor Russell is a unique special talent. It will tug on emotions for sure.

Ambivalence and Isolation: the pandemic horror of It Comes at Night (2017, dir. Trey Edward Shults)
there's so much tenderness in this movie, and so much violence. the extremes of human emotion and interaction lie side by side, separated only by invisible lines of trust and distrust. there is no certainty in the world of it comes at night, whether in the conflicting stories someone tells, the sometimes erratic time jumps, or the nightmare sequences that bleed into consciousness. the danger is always there and always invisible, it's not a monster charging at you, it's a stranger you just met or a person you love. it's someone who breaks into your house at night, or your lost pet returning home. tension escalates because of distrust and fear, and it remains completely unclear to the characters and the audience if their actions were in any way warranted, if the story they tell themselves is real.
it comes at night is scary mostly because it's ambivalent, but it's also scary because it's sad. because there's a real feeling of loss and the fear of losing even more. there's a feeling of togetherness and the longing for connection, and there's the erosion of the ability to trust those around you with your safety.
i guess what i'm saying is, inadvertently it comes at night is a pandemic movie. it's about transmission and danger and death, but mostly isolation. fear of others, fear of the outside. the attempt to reclaim socialization and environment, only to be confronted with danger again. it's about loss and about mourning. and that's terrifying.
(kelvin harrison jr. was fantastic btw)
