Strange Thing About the Johnsons (2011)

Option 1Can't Watch?

Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.

If the movie didn't load, it means you are being blocked by a security service we use. This can happen for a number of reasons.

Click this first

A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.

Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.



If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.

The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.

This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.

If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Before watching this I thought I was going to ask myself why the husband is a pussy, and that this movie would just be shock factor. I was wrong. I feel like it showed exactly how trauma doesn’t always make everyone “stronger,” unlike what some people yell in your face every two seconds; “O-oh trauma makes you stronger!” You just feel powerless. I feel like I related to how he reacts to trauma really similarly. You just give in to them so that things don’t escalate. You stop fighting. It’s either you go insane from constantly having to fight back, or you slowly drain your soul by letting your fight go. Beautiful movie, but wouldn’t watch again.

Yeah, Ari Aster is a real loser, no surprise that his fans are mentally ill women or fat men. Nothing creative about this film, a very serious subject that is not being explored in a serious way or even in a surreal kind of extreme way with some type of moral messaging at between. No, just shock value brainless shit. The acting was mediocre, the dialogues were…. No comment, and the camera work was even worse than his recent films.

Como previsto, é um filme que falhou miseravelmente em tentar chocar com algo que literalmente não choca ninguém.
