just finished watching the movie and wanted to point out the scene where Jill returns home after getting the divorce. at the 1 hour and 18 minute mark the family picture above the fireplace caught me off guard. and when i went back and paused sure enough the killer's face is covering Jill's. really cool how they can subtly put that in there and it tells you the killer used to live in that town just like everyone else but something happened to her and she wanted to come back, just like Jill.

The guy coming home to get pool water. The dog running up to him. "Julian! Omg...you don't have any clothes on. You poor thing."

Just watched on Hulu, I was so confused but also so intrigued.

this video’s gonna blow up now that the movie is on hulu.

I took the hair scene as the women thinking that their hair/personal appearance is literally part of who they are, therefore the hair actually bleeding when its cut. Same thing when they removed the braces. Braces don't make your mouth bleed and braces were also there as an example of their personal appearance. May i also say their breakfasts were epic with that giant bowl of cereal. One of my favourite of the year

So I actually lived in that Golf Cart town that they talked about in the Q&A it is called Peatchtree City (or PTC) and it IS this movie. I worked at the Starbucks there and go to see glimpse of all these people lives. All the dads are pilots and all the moms don't work and all the neighborhoods are planned and perfect. it is a weird suburbia, and I'm from Connecticut. The age to drive a golf cart is 14 so there are high school parking lots filled with them and special roads along the side of regular road, as well as tunnels and bridges, just for the golf carts. If you pass the high school at the wrong time of day in an actual car you are stuck in traffic for a good 40 min because the little perfect rows of golf carts are driving back to their perfect homes.

When Julian “transformed” into a dog, I thought that he’d actually died (hence them playing on the graves at the end) and that they got a dog to replace Julian. That’s what fueled their divorce. The dog was just a dog at the end, not even acknowledged by Julie.

Great eye opening take. I understood pretty much everything else going on, but Julian turning into a dog stumped me, but I like your idea a lot. They get a dog to fill the void in their lives, and in doing so the mother is subconsciously placing these expectations on it and comparing it to her son.

This movie popped up on my Hulu suggestions and once again nobody understands me like my video streaming services. I am geeking out over this movie.

The road scenes where no one wants to drive first really exemplify Jill's arc, cuz toward the end when she's in the same situation she just says goes first without question

I also noticed they keep asking the black mom is she an athlete and denies it, ironically she's slightly dressed as an athlete. This is strangely a common thing they ask black people in the suburbs out of no where

Also a lot of women who are attached to their hair as this perfect representation of who they are consider 2 inches off the hair that’s past your shoulder blade “going short”. If you google “short hair cuts” you’ll get a lot of stuff that’s around shoulder length. Whereas to me short is a page or pixie.

That has to be the weirdest movie I’ve ever seen in my life but I loved every minute of it!

I think this might be a bit out there theory, but when I first watched this back in January I couldnt help but think "Jill is Miss Humans mother, she's living through some form of afterlife punishment." Its one of those things that when youre watching it and it clicks, it sticks and you start seeing the parallels with Miss Humans song about her mother.

I live in suburban Georgia and EVERYONE owns a golf cart. I grew up in Ohio and when I moved to Georgia it was crazy to me. People drive them around a lot. It’s kind of a status symbol. I loved that it was in the movie!

Just watched this on Hulu and One of my favorite things that really hit home for me was when the substitute yoga teacher came in and played a movie. That was so great! How many times growing up did the substitute teacher just play a movie and another thing I just realized she was the outcast and a substitute teacher is kind of an outcast. Out of the bubble. Also the killer trying to be someone she is not is a theme that happened again with the kitchen scene. Gonna go watch kids with knives now.

As I was watching this movie, there were so many weird things going on that I started to think that they were actually dolls. The entire community. Like, the "writer" of this story is a kid playing with the dolls Like the kid begin te story with Jill having the baby and then just though that the lisa doll would be better, so she just offers it. In one scene the woman are kissing the wrong husband, like the kid forgot who was the husbands of the main dolls. The kid turning into a dog might be because she just lost the child doll and replaced with a dog figure to continue the story. It's sounds dumb as I'm writing this... hahaha It doesn't fit perfectly with all scenes, I know. But that was my initial interpretation of the movie. But I like yours too :)

I clicked on this because I've seen it twice now and want to hear other analysis on tye film. I noticed the last time I watched it how they mention graves throughout the movie. The pool being something that had a dead horse carcass that's prehistoric there. Then how the pool had a mystical feeling with being addicted to drinking from it like her husband was, and the canine transformation. Then the ending with them playing on graves. Its like they've been living over dead bodies the whole time without caring. Also when Jill said "Indian giver" I feel like there may be some connection with native graves and curses for not appreciating what is had already. Also the whole theme of everyone always making everything overly selfish. Like the ex girlfriend at the memorial.. Or the baby not going to her friend rather then how she lost it.

Totoally. I don't know if i necessarily believe the graves are pertaining to a curse, so much as just the genocide that happened as a consequence of the settlers' expansion westward (the teacher mentioned the westward expansion on two separate occasions). the suburban lives that these people are living are built upon the the dead bodies of countless native americans.

Oh proud of myself for figuring out the emoji pics in the back 🥰 Edward scissorhands is my favorite movie of all time

I saw it yesterday and loved it. There is almost an aspect of kids playing houses which was an interesting take. Everything had triple-entendres and the production design made it even more awkward.

Jill giving over her baby is a great commentary on performative generosity

I love psychological thrillers, such as the platform & snow piercer which depict social and economical classification construct.. even though this movie is classified as a comedy, it was similar very thought provoking.... And you guys confirmed everything I thought while I was watching the movie

And the grave thing , the ref shouts at her OUT OF BOUNDS when she starts to leave again, like he said sit down and accept it!

It was like looking for background ghosts while watching Haunting of Hill House. I saw some weird stuff that wasn't alluded to, I feel like there's a lot going on in the background.

I knew I recognized the little boy in ‘Greener Grass’. He was also in H.P. Lovecrafts ‘Color out of Space’ starring Nicolas Cage from 2019, I think. If you seriously want to be disturbed, watch that movie. I find it the kind of movie that will aid in insomnia, meaning: it will keep you awake when you should be sleeping. I bought it through KZread. Not just rent, bought it.

Julian was singing Happy Birthday to his dad and then he fell into the pool and came out a dog. I think that it may have been his dads subconscious wish to have a better son and it was birthday magic that turned him into the dog.

It's just sims the movie.

in the end when Jill says she needs to get out of here the ref looks back at Jill and says out of bounds and I googled the definition of it to see what came up and a synonym is forbidden showing how conformity skewed all their thinking

Just watched it! I enjoyed it. I really like this type of humor and I can't wait to see what they make next.

i feel like it was vivarium 50 years later

I wanted more of that feeling I got when the ref turned to look straight at Jill and said, "Out of bounds." That said, this is a great movie.

She doesn't bleed from the hair during the haircut. The hairdresser goes to trim the end of the moms hair but in a daze she cuts the tip of her finger off instead. Then we pan to the station next to them and the other hairdresser is sweeping what we think is hair at first but its blood because that hairdresser is also in a daze.

My first thought after I finished was is this like the Sixth Sense where she is seeing the dead because the kids were playing soccer on the grave. Thank you for this video though

The golf cart weirdness reminded me of Christopher Reeve in "Somewhere in Time." Mackinac Island is STRICTLY a no-car place. Yet they show him in the movie, driving a Triumph or an MG...meanwhile, the film crew is trying to work with horse and carriages....if you'd been, you'd know it's always been that way. So, seeing him in a car is very bizarre. THAT was an odd movie with a lot to say. And less gross. He falls in love with a woman in an old photo...

The final scene is an ominous attempt to add yet another pathetic spoonful of creepiness. If u notice, this is an IFC Midnight release which means there HAS to be some sort of unease or something that a viewer may call creepy in the least. Although the film has serious tone issues, the 2 or 3 parts that were intended to be creepy actually are. They succeed. They should have done more with the horror elements. The final scene at the soccer game is showing us that Jill is realizing that the field is possessing the children which is why they are suddenly misbehaving and acting out in bizarre ways.
