i didn't go back to check – but there's also the scene where the mother is in her bed praying/sobbing, and you see her through the gap in the curtains – I noticed something moving above her, just barely in the shot. thought maybe it was a mic or some other slip-up; but now i'm not sure – am going to check when i get home.

the final sequence is so masterful and beautifully shot, it makes the payoff ("yes, everything that has been implied IS TRUE") so much more impactful. I don't think it diminishes all the ambiguities - about the nature of sin/redemption, family lies and dissembling, puritan repression/oppression, "wicked" children - at all.

Anything involving the death of children or evil children is hard for my wife to take (altho she agrees this film is great), but I told her hey, she had to kill the entire family otherwise she would never be free of all that puritan bullshit

Had to turn on the subtitles in order figure what the dang was being said, but yeah it was good.

i was hoping the revive would have some news about what eggers has been up to but i had to go look it up myself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lighthouse_(upcoming_film)

agree the final sequence of the vvitch is just about perfect.

this shit was terrifying and unnerving. I watched it right after watching Hereditary. What a nice night I had.
