Rian Johnson is spot on in this interview

Rian provides an excellent analysis of how plot structure can make all the difference between a good movie and a great one.

I just wish that this interview was longer, so he could put forward some more examples. One that I would have added is Get Out (2017), where you know that something unusual is happening but cannot put your finger on it, the suspense builds up, then all gets revealed in the final few scenes.
