It is nowhere near as intense as the Exorcist. What it DID reveal to me is a lot in common with Paganism and Yoruba (grandmother of Santeria, VooDoo).
Sure, yes, of COURSE Jewish Mysticism, but I hadn't realized just how closely related all things otherwordly are connected. It was just an interesting surprise, because I come from Jewish and Catholic roots...but primarily was brought up Pagan. You don't see this side of the Jewish faith...crystals, sea salts, etc. All my Jewish grandparents were extremely stoic and earthy--logical with facts, please.
Just my experience, of course but the point is that it still gave me a nice surprise, something learned. It's wonderful to learn something that close which hadn't been known before. This is where I find joy, learning new things. So close to home (so to speak) was icing.
Another review wrote that this is a couple you want to see make it. Definitely had those vibes, I typically do not go for Rom Com but this was really sweet. You form a relationship with your main characters--The Deerhunter had this element. Spent a good hour getting to know those guys, party with them, so to speak. The gut punches that follow make it that more extraordinary.
Such is it with this movie. The makeup was very good too, the skin deterioration was done in an unusual (but still incredibly ugly) style. Subtle, giving one the heebiejeebies.
Moral of the Story: Communication is KEY. Someone screams in your face that they love your adult child...you might want to ensure that they know how to keep your adult child alive. Yikes.
