Longlegs has burrowed itself into my mind. It's a great movie. There's a lot of talk around it, of course, but what it does supremely well, at least for me, is depicting how trauma, especially childhood trauma, fucks with your memory, your understanding of the world, and your entire physiological response to everything. It's not "artsy," it's just well-crafted. It's not "scary," but it is unnerving and horribly close. Which is probably what was intended. Trauma has long legs.

interesting how a huge part of fbi procedurals gone wild (longlegs, the silence of the lambs, hannibal, twin peaks) is that a bad thing happened when you were young & you’re going to try to outrun it but it’s always right behind you & it’s going to catch up to you & there’s nothing you can do
