Review of A Simple Favor (2018) by Trineo99 — 09 Nov 2018

Now I have to give props to Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, who did spectacular jobs in this film. They both could easily play off of one another like yin and yang. Both actresses gave it their all in these roles and you can easily see that.

Anna probably had the most captivating one of them all . You see her struggle to try and find her friend and at the same time be a good mom to her kid, and she just did a great job of portraying that struggle .

Another thing that this movie did great were the costumes. I don’t usually talk about the clothes but they had to be mentioned for this film. All of the outfits were marvelous and deserve a nomination for the costumes.

They also were like characters on their own. They also helped in showing character arcs and growth, mainly for Anna Kendricks clothes. I also really liked the musical scores. It helped you understand the tension in some scenes.

Now some thing that could be fixed is how the film felt like two different movies to me, and not in a good way. The first half of the film just felt really slow to me, which is understandable due to it introducing the characters, but the other half was way more interesting.

The second half was more intense and had me on the edge of my seat. There is a plot twist that is very obvious about what it was going to be. In the end, “A Simple Favour” was a surprisingly enjoyable film — one that I think a lot of people would like.
