I remember realizing Maika Monroe is a good actress when watched for the first time in Greta (2018), and maybe I tought only for movies about young people (which I particularly enjoy). I confirmed it in the first scene of It Follows (2014), with her laughing in a swimming a pool. Then, I knew it was her in The Watcher (2022) only after I finished (this is something really nice). But in Longlegs, somehow I knew it would be good because of her and she plays a complex character very well. The way she moves, the way she looks, the way she lets herself be carried away by sensitivity, the way she doesn't say a word while her boss' family asked things until she is in the child room. It is very real for what many would call a 'weirdo'.
There are some (original) scenes where a shadow or goat appears and despite together with sound effect, for more fearlful viewers or not, may go unnoticed because for few seconds.
It might seem like longlegs would be difficult to arrest, but that fragile figure with baggage at a bus stop was because what he does is not in the physical world.
The only gap was how he was invited to any house with that appearence, for the killing spree before using a woman with church clothes. But after the very good ending and as I don't like to check much or watch trailers, I didn't know it was Nicolas Cage until his name was in the cool upside down credits, I laughed not only because his (and the makeup) talent, but because for a reason I recalled 8mm (1999) while watching! So the gap was nothing.
