Impeccable black and white film photography, killer sound design, one of the great character actors of our time giving a nigh slapstick performance while playing off of another great young actor playing the straight man. I can see why it's not for some but to me it's like a funny version of Persona with the gender roles flipped.

I disliked The Witch and only checked this movie out for the leads but ended up seeing it multiple times in theaters. Probably the last time a contemporary movie genuinely surprised me
