Dear Icon Film Distribution, thank you for releasing Strange Darling on 4k UHD. I will be picking it up for sure.

Next time, would it be too much to ask for cover art that isn't sullied by unnecessary and FUGLY review quotes!?!?!?

I’m ecstatic, as I won’t be able to see it at cinema but really like the look of this. Thanks for the link.

I love this movie and am glad that it is getting a 4k UHD release. I was surprised that the stunning cinematography was done by actor Giovanni Ribisi.

Redlettermedia really praised this one. I think I might do a blind buy.

Icon's seemingly going all-in with their UHDs - wonderful!

Just got my preorder in. Very happy to see this. Ended up seeing this in the theater on a whim after noticing Kyle Gallner was in it. Tacked it onto Blink Twice for a nice double feature that night. Thank god for that AMC A-List membership!

Now, if only Dazzler hadn't dropped the Cuckoo 4K, all my favs from the past few months would be set.

Not actually watched the trailer it's all buzz for me with the production and especially casting Kyle Gallner from Dinner in America

Fantastic movie! Glad it'll get a 4K UHD!

I must be the only one who strongly disliked this movie. I am glad those who liked it can get a 4K though. Any movie that benefits from the format should get a release on the format.

Now if only we can get Cuckoo 4K now....

[xplorar]

Any information about audio format? Atmos?
EDIT:
Back cover reveals that its not Atmos. Only 5.1

Scanning Letterboxd plenty of people didn't like this movie.

However compared to Cuckoo, I think Strange Darling is an absolute masterpiece!

I loved Cuckoo We need more films like this.

It's nowhere near as challenging as his previous film Luz.

Great cast too which helps.

I very rarely watch trailers before seeing a film but couldn't help myself with Cuckoo and it unsetteled me = I knew I'd love it.

It's a bit early Cronenberg but with a bit of gloss.

It was absolutely mediocre. I had no issues making it to the end as I've seen far worse, but a big disappointment for me as I was really looking forward to it.

Funny enough I actually watched this first recently and realized Kyle Gallner was in Strange Darling and instantly decided to make it a double header! The difference between the two were night and day to say the least as far as my enjoyment.

My biggest complaint is that the main j!zz handed big bad Mama Instagram filter for a Villain looked like something i'd expect to see on a throwaway SNL skit and not a movie like this with legitimate potential. If that wasn't enough they even threw in the ol' trusty and always incredibly lazy audible bone cracking sound effect as she moves closer to REALLY scare you. I hate this with a passion that they're still using this in moments that are supposed to be tense/scary.

I do agree though that i've seen much worse and this had TONS of potential in the first half but it fell off immensely for me in the second half to the point I was just shaking my head during that entire final scene which was just comically ridiculous and over the top.. All that and the Dad character just sunk the movie for me which was that much more disappointing because Hunter and Dan were mostly great and deserved much better imo.

Strange Darling OTOH was a very strong 4/5 imo and i'm really looking forward to giving it another watch next Year. Gallner is easily becoming one of my favorite underrated Actors, I just wished he picked better projects overall but he nailed this one at least! Willa Fitzgerald was captivating as well and stole quite a few scenes, she's another one i'll be looking out for now.

This post is already getting a bit long so i'll just say if you haven't seen the trailer for Strange Darling, i'd highly suggest being very minimal on what you look up/watch about it as it's def. one that's much better going in as blind as possible.

Better in what way? In terms of packaging or disc specs?
