Expectations are indeed such a huge factor, the best ones are when they are sky high and the movie still blows you away. For most films I would say it's best to go in completely blind but at times also knowing a couple key things help to watch it in the right context. I can think of Kinds of Kindness where I knew in advance that it were 3 different stories with the same actors and for it to be a Yorgos Lanthimos so there was a reference what to expect. For a movie like The Menu it would have been nice to know in advance that it was a satire. It's one of the things I try to do with these blog posts is to set a right frame of what you need to know about the movie to enjoy it most.

Thanks for stopping by!
