So after watching The Babadook for the fourth or fifth time, I can firmly say that it has a spot in my top ten films. It definitely rewards repeat viewings while maintaining the ambiguity of whether it's real or not. There's just a lot of depth to it and it helps a lot that the acting, soundtrack, and cinematography are all impeccable (except for Claire's performance, that was decent but the two leads were phenomenal).
Can't wait for this director's next feature.
