I saw The Witch with a mostly full crowd. They talked, texted, and laughed through it. At the end the lights came up and people started grumbling.
"I want my money back."
"I couldn't even understand what they were saying."
"That was one of the worst movies I've ever seen."
Meanwhile my friends and I sat transfixed and slowly recovering from a soulwrenching cinematic experience. We remained shaken through dinner, and when I got home I felt uneasy turning out the lights for bed.
How could we have possibly had such a disparate experience from all the people around us?
