Tirapa review
If you have been waiting for a blockbuster willing to trust silence as much as percussion, The Exorcist will feel like a deliberate swing.
The edit keeps clean sightlines through chaos; you always know where you are, which makes jeopardy feel expensive rather than confused.
As theatrical entertainment goes, this is the sort of film that reminds you why huge screens exist. The Exorcist lands differently depending on whether you prioritize spectacle or character—but both camps get something tangible.
On balance, the film earns its scale with readable stakes and a finale that does not cheat the setup.
Strengths
- Soundscape and score that elevate tension without bullying it
- Cohesive visual identity and disciplined framing
- Strong ensemble chemistry with clearly drawn motivations
Weak spots
- One subplot gestures at depth without fully landing payoff
- Exposition occasionally arrives in clusters rather than drips
- The finale asks for an emotional leap some viewers may not grant
