This is like Andrew Dominik, Netflix and “Blonde” all over again. Except, what does A24 seriously have to lose here? Of course, I understand A24’s positioning in not wanting to release a three and a half hour long movie. However, they should just say fuck it, do it! It’ll be a movie event that’ll be buzzed about within the film dweeb community. We need Ari’s full, unabated, untouched vision to unfurl on-screen. I don’t know if this is going to Venice. I just don’t. The movie is “not ready,” and A24 has a wobbly relationship with the Venice Film Festival, but I’m now looking forward to the director’s cut — After what he’s shown us, Aster deserves creative freedom.
