Teen comedies are almost exclusively a streaming affair these days.

I was nine years old when The Blair Witch Project came to theaters, so much too young to see something rated R.

I’ll be honest: I’ve spent the better part of a decade dodging Yorgos Lanthimos movies.

It’s not often you can honestly describe a film as both “exploitative” and “restrained,” but The Perfect Neighbor lives in an unsettling overlap — and gets a lot of its magnetic power from the fact that it pushes past tasteful boundaries in some areas pulls back in others.

Every time a Scandinavian director gets praised for making a film “reminiscent of Ingmar Bergman,” I brace myself for two hours of immaculate misery and a big, chilly lesson about how people are flawed and feelings are difficult.

I am clenching my jaw trying to resist making the obvious joke about the runtime.

Although it might be my favorite movie of the year, I almost don’t want to review Twinless. I want every viewer to go in with as little knowledge as possible.
