Queen Mia, Queen of Queens

Around this house we stan Mia Wasikowska and we stan her hard, and so when over this weekend I watched Netflix's new thriller The Devil All the Time -- it's out on Friday, I'll review it before then I promise -- and saw how itty bitty Mia's part ended up being, well, I decided that wasn't good enough. I had to get some more Mia in my timeline! So I re-watched Park Chan-wook's 2013 flick Stoker right after and gifted myself with Mia, more more Mia! And then I wrote it up for this week's "Great Moments in Horror Actressing" post over at The Film Experience, click on over to read it!

I should want y'all that I find myself on the precipice of a "re-watching all of Park Chan-wook's movies binge" so there might be a lot of Park talk around these parts over the next couple of months. I have been hankering real hard for The Handmaiden and Thirst and I'm a Cyborg But That's Okay -- everything except the "Vengeance Trilogy" as of right now, but once I re-watch all of these I presumably won't be able to help myself and I'll end up re-watching the "Vengeance Trilogy" for the umpteenth time. I did just get the whole thing on blu-ray recently...

His movies are so cold to me. They’re very stylish and beautifully shot but I can’t ever penetrate them emotionally. I still need to watch The Handmaiden but otherwise I’ve been very indifferent to most of his work.

Mia is great though. Yay Mia.
