I want to be clear that The Eyes of my Mother and Annihilation are both great movies. Annihilation could end up being my favorite movie of the year. I can't believe they released something this close to a Tarkovsky movie in 2018. Doesn't hold your hand. Doesn't try to give a dumb explanation.
It's one of those bring-your-own-explanation movies, but not in a dumb way. It reminded me a lot of a novel of a similar name where the protagonist seeks to delete his past, his family and himself through his confessions. Actually it's nothing like that novel. Just watch Annihilation. That's my main recommendation for 2018. If it isn't on Netflix already, it should be soon.
