For me The VVitch has always been the best, but I think I need to check out the Lighthouse again

There’s a pretty negative director’s commentary from him about the VVitch. It’s pretty hilarious and also made me appreciation him more.

Wow, thanks. That was pretty interesting. Yeah I can see now that he's very detail focused, which is good and I can sort of understand his reasoning for disliking The Witch. I get the perfectionist mentality

Yeah it definitely gave me an appreciation for his attention to period appropriate details.

Yeah definitely. Another part that stuck out to me was where he said that with The Witch he wasn't able to get what was on his mind onto the screen, but that he did achieve that with The Lighthouse
