Hereditary: Breaking Familial Patterns (Video Essay)

In this video essay, we examine a couple aspects presented in the 2018 A24 horror movie, Hereditary. We talk about the themes within the movie, why we potentially come to mimic our parents' behaviors, trying to heal from the past, and distinguish between guilt and shame. This video is also intertwined with a discussion that Jennette McCurdy and Drew Barrymore have on Drew Barrymore's talk show involving complicated relationships with their mothers. I hope you enjoyed the discussion! Be sure to check out the references linked down below

thank you for watching,
