Rosemary’s Baby (1968) - Review

Rosemary's Baby is phenomenal. But what really left me stunned was just how modern this movie was. This film deals with so many modern themes, but the biggest one here is gender roles. Mia Farrow does a phenomenal job here, just showing how much pain and how much anguish she's dealing with. John Kasich, I don't know how to pronounce his name, the husband, but he does a phenomenal job in this. The supporting cast also does a phenomenal job. It's so phenomenal to see this film, this horror movie. Just be carried by dialogue and great performances. The dialogue here, too, is Chef's Kiss, like *chef kiss*. They always talk over each other. There's always moments where conversations flip flop back and forth to different points. It reminds me of Aaron Sorkin and how great his writing can be sometimes and how involved. You can get into it. The other part I loved here was their direction. I love how he used all the places around this apartment. You always got a great feel where you were, and at times, even if you knew where you were, you're still kind of confused and still kind of wondering where you are. The whole apartment is almost a maze and so phenomenal and so entertaining to watch. And watching this mystery unfold over time and what it results in, you get so invested into it. And when you finally learn the answer, it's heartbreaking. This film is straight up timeless.
