luca’s review published on Letterboxd:
longlegs doesn't live up to the "relentless waking nightmare frightfest that'll blow your balls off" type of hype that i was expecting, but maybe that's because my skin is a bit thicker than others'. its a slow and quietly disconcerting procedural a la true detective, cure, and the exorcist iii in the way it worms into your chest, creating a deep cavity between your heart and lungs. i didn't even realize one of the scares was happening until someone else in the audience screamed. drenched in a stone-cold atmosphere that reeks of the macabre; it's less about what you're looking at, it's about how it makes you feel. it's a slow-burning thriller that never fails to keep you on your toes while making you want to shrivel into the smallest version of yourself. i wasnt feeling the full five-stars at first but this is so incredibly inventive, compelling, disturbing, and immersive that i can already see myself pre-ordering a 4k copy and rewatching it until the disc wears out. enchantingly dreadful stuff all around, this'll definitely go crazy with the "ending explained" crowd on youtube
