Laborious and nonsensical. Not creepy or remotely scary. I found it incoherent at times but hoped it would redeem itself with a killer ending. It didn't. Max the dog best thing about it.

Well made and taut anthology horror. Dark, inventive and pretty twisted in parts. All parts connected which adds to the coherence of the film.

Beautifully shot with fantastic writing and character development. Minari is a wonderful and very assured film. It never resorts to caricature or stereotypes and even the more flawed parts are treated with sympathy. It is honest and contains many laugh out loud moments, when least expected.

Brilliantly conceived and sincere tribute to the rat a tat tat comedies of the 30's and 40's. Jennifer Jason Leigh is superb but there is so much to enjoy.
