Like many of the people who have commented on here, I have enjoyed Cohen's previous work... but this is frankly appalling and I am not sure what film the people who have this anything over a 5 have been watching as it certainly wasn't the same one that I watched.
Ok, the film is trying to expose the ridiculous politics and clash of cultures, but what really stuck out to me was a complete lack of respect for those who have lost people to COVID, or have suffered sexual abuse from Hollywood stars. These are all fairly raw subjects and I see no reason why this film needed to be released now. Why would amazon put money into this disgusting display is beyond me.
Aside from the topical faux pas, this is the same old jokes and the same old gig of getting abhorrent people to get in to situations which make them look ridiculous, which, ok, can be amusing at times, but just watching this just left me feeling annoyed rather than the piece of escapism I was hoping for.
Cohen has lost his way and probably should settle back for a life off camera now as the 90s is over and the world is moving in from childish satire.

I'm not sure who wrote the good reviews for this movie... but there are no subtle undertones, the performances are not good. The cinematography is not magical.
This is nearly 2 hours of nothing happening except for a women suffering from grief and depression go through some stuff and her husband trying it on with the neighbour.
The horror element is not "horrory" enough, the mental health part was not well done and the "religious vibes" needed some form of context.
All in all, this is simply just a terrible movie which if I had paid to watch it, I would have been demanding my money back.

This started with the well known plot traits of step mother and biological father wanting to spend time with kids to warm them up to living together, after biological mother's suicide. From here it takes an unexpected twist and turns what you think is going to be a paranormal event film on its head.
Despite other reviews on here which say this film has style over substance, there is a heap of symbolism and things happening in the background which will push you towards a more in-depth viewing of this film.
The pace is slow at times, but this is compensated by good acting and a logical story line.
Worth a watch.
