[Thor Joachim Haga]

Glass (2019), Old (2021), Knock at the Cabin (2023)
This is where it gets bad again. GLASS was a disappointing letdown after UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT, OLD wasn’t very good either and had a lame resolution, and KNOCK AT THE CABIN was then totally bad beyond all hope.

Totally disagree. Okay, GLASS was so-so, but OLD was quite good, and KNOCK AT THE CABIN was friggin’ excellent! Wrote a review of that too, here (google-translated). My second favourite film of 2023.

As I said, I’m a big Shya defender, there are even supreme qualities in those four films you mentioned that usually get a bad rap. Also, let’s not forget the fantastic slow burn series SERVANT. But my fandom fades completely compared to a colleague of mine, Dag Sødtholt, who has written brilliant deep dives into all films. If you have some time on your hands, and a curiousity about all of the director’s visual motifs, even in the films that get a bad rap, I recommend checking out that article series, they’re all in English. But be sure to bring plenty of coffee!
