Characters You Give a Shit About Living or Dying
Ultimately, for as good of a performance as Toni Collette gives in Hereditary, there’s nothing about her that makes you actually care if she lives or dies. The same goes for the rest of the family, too. Charlie’s death was shocking, but no one sat in the theater afterwards thinking, Man, I really wish that Charlie kid was still around. And it took an actual IMDb lookup just to remember Peter’s name, so that’s saying something.
