Review of A Simple Favor (2018) by Dawdlingpoet — 25 Nov 2021

This is sometimes categorised as a comedy film but I'd first like to say that, to me, its more of a mystery drama. The main character is a bit of a light head type but I didn't, personally, find that aspect especially amusing, although the main plot about the strange disappearance of her new friend did intrigue me.

There are a number of plot twists and it kept me guessing. I thought it was quite engrossing and Anna Kendrick gave a particularly good performance as said main character (Stephanie Smothers). So, overall I'd say this is not what it may first appear to be and its a good watch if you like a mystery drama type watch. Yes, I'd recommend this film to others.
