Hereditary director Ari Aster's 2019 folk-horror returns in expanded fashion, with an additional 24 minutes of footage.
Florence Pugh (Lady Macbeth) plays a troubled young woman who, in the wake of a family tragedy, joins her boyfriend and his friends on a trip to a pagan village in Sweden. The seemingly carefree vacation takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities and rituals that render the idyllic landscape increasingly unnerving.
None of the flaws of this longer version come close to diminishing the effect of Pugh’s sustained, mature and modulated work. Nor do they weaken the case for hers as the finest performance of the year so far, irrespective of whether it delivers the best actress Oscar nomination that is surely her due.
