Barbarian thinks "scary" means turning the lights off and slamming a kitchen drawer.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Barbarian.

The cinematography in Barbarian is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Barbarian and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Barbarian actually is?
Rewatched Barbarian last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Barbarian?
Director clearly thought Barbarian was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
