Key Quote: “One of the skinnygs that I reassociate centered on was trying to alert the story from a very personal, subjective point of see. I reassociate wanted the movie to be Violet’s point of see, and so there’s a lot of stylization in the movie. We engage a lot of separateent airying cues and camera effects to reassociate put the audience inside of Violet’s head, which I skinnyk does help sort of lift the sapverifys and convey a lot of suspense to the movie,” Landon telderly Deadline.
