I think Ex Machina and The Witch are the best movies I’ve seen in the last decade.

The Witch is just…something else.

I have no idea how it felt to live as a 17th Century Puritan, but the film feels so foreign, so strange, that it even if it didn’t achieve verisimilitude I’d not know and what it did achieve is amazing in how non-modern it felt.

Wish more mainstream “historical” films could do as much, or work as hard to capture an era.
