I'm a sucker for historicity, I admit, and this one does it really well. But beyond that it is so well-paced and so great at evoking emotions. IDK, don't got much else to say but go watch it if you haven't already.

It's one of those films that a person would normally loathe to rewatch because of how depressing it is but I've watched it several times simply for how incredible a piece of art it is.

(BTW apparently the Vs in the title are because back in the day instead of reordering a new "W" piece for your printing press you'd just smush 2 Vs together lol.)

Are you joking? It's obviously Vee-vee-itch. Like if you got a vee-vee that needs to be scratched.

Man I came up with that dumb joke without realizing how sexual it sounds lol >_>

I feel you, but for me it's the epitome of a good slow-burn film.

Seems so -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lighthouse_(2019_film)

It stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson as nineteenth-century lighthouse keepers in turmoil after being marooned at a remote New England outpost by a wild storm.

Though the director's other film The Northman may be more so...

The Lighthouse has an even stronger feel for its time and place, but there's also an abstract element that makes it harder to pin down.

The Northman is his weakest movie imo. VVitch and Lighthouse are pretty good, but definitely not something I would tell someone who is a casual viewer would enjoy. They're very weird movies.

Depends where you were from; VV is most common in Latin but in LAtin VV doesn't make W, it makes a 'vu' sound, 'vv' would have been written as vu, but pronounced as vv.

So Latin VVitch is Vu-itch. Lol.

Probably more like Wu-itch as Latin doesn't have a "V" sound in the language

It changed pretty considerably over time; in its oldest attested stages it was /b/ but ended up shifting in the vulgar and hence bleeding into the classical and ecclesiastical. At best it's read as Bu-itch lol; in any case, VV is most definitely not W lol

i.e. Vesuvius correct pronunciation is wswi.s -- wesooioos

After the Northman he said he was gonna make more small movies. It was way more difficult to make and still no one saw it.

I agree, it's amazing and actually an all-time favourite. The setting works perfectly. It was also Anya Taylor-Joy's first movie and breakout role.
