It is not a good week for limited releases. Limited and VOD Releases: Below Average Releases In the end, I went with the Alfred Hitchcock classic as the Pick of the Week. Mom on Blu-ray, and Rebecca: Criterion Collection on Blu-ray. As for the Pick of the Week contenders, they are, in alphabetical order, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas on DVD, Mr. I’m hoping a Blu-ray screener is on its way. There is one exception, The Big Sick, but it is only coming out on VOD this week. There are a few first-run releases coming out this week, but none of them did well enough in theaters and / or with critics to bother with above the fold, so to speak.

This was likely the angel communicating to Sophia on how to live "her best life". After which, the angel communicates something that isn't clear. In the abramelin operation, the angel will recount the sins you have done that you never confessed or acknowledged. Sophia goes up stairs, and the angel says something inaudible to which Sophia says "I'm sorry". Having finally making the pained epiphany of the error of her motives, her angel appears and the demons flee. She escapes, and announces over and over - "I'm sorry!". Sophia succumbs, and loses her ring finger on her left hand - symbolic of a broken union. Vengeance for her child's death, because it is the noose she's wrapped around her neck. Thus, her son is walked out by the demon to witness everything Sophia says she desires: vengeance. Being at the mercy of the desires she thinks she has, the fiends use her sons voice to taunt her onward. And she slowly gets tested by all of the things she thinks she desires - manifesting as the fiends (which is a large sum of the conclusion of the operation). Here, the operation begins to create results in tangible form. Solomon, also, got exactly what he wanted of the Angel - and was rewarded in kind for his trespasses. Here, Solomon has a parallel to the Gnostic Logos, the mate to Sophia that never was. This is why Solomon reacted with such outrage- not because he's an unhinged jerk (he's a jerk elsewhere in the story, but besides the point), but because honesty and sincerity are paramount to the operation. To herself, to Solomon, and technically speaking - even to the divine. Sophia the character chose to begin the operation for vengeance, and lied about it. And much like the Gnostic Sophia, her actions were born of a complete ignorance. Sophia, greek for "Wisdom", also the name of the gnostic accidental mother of creation, got to gain a new understanding of her corporeal pain. To meet the divine means there is little chance we will come out of such an experience unchanged. Based on my experience, what happened is this: The point of the Abramelin Operation is to meet the divine. This thread is ancient, but despite my experience I only heard about the movie a week ago. Nevertheless, we are not certain of what the guardian angel says to Sophia and that's something to think about. To wrap it up I think she killed her son, at the beginning she wasn't that guilty but at the end (She had time to think) she was. I think she fucked up the ritual and a demon possesed her I don't, you tell me. We see in a scene that she is kinda disy and a voice tells her "let someone in". What I'm not certain of is the fact that she left the circle of salt around the house. Joseph was killed because of it and the demons appeared because she lied and they were there to make justice for her lies (we could see this when Joseph was liyng on the floor and a pair of hands drag him). She killed her fucking son and she lied so Joseph 'cause she didn't want to explain further to perform the ritual (She didn't trust him). What came to mind at the end of it (when her gardian angel appeared and Sophia was in the shore of a river holding a corpse) was that she asked for forgivness but not to her son's killers, but for herself.
