Hereditary

"More than anything else, this was Toni Collette’s film above all other concerns. Whether it’s the weight of her character’s arc or her blistering performance, this film for all its darkly turns was about her fate. The sense of place and setting, and the subliminal affectations of the family were as much a character in the film as the family afflicted by them. This was an image that came fast and right away among others, and seemed to be the most unique view into this wrenchingly dark story. But giving a sense of place the same power as a portrait of the character made for a challenge right up until we reached the final stages." - Greg Ruth
