Review of Split (2017)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 20 Jan 2017

There are moments of fear and loathing in the story, but at just under two hours the whole production overstays its welcome, and isn't really…

Review of Split (2017)

By James Verniere (1,180) for Boston Herald (1,433) on 20 Jan 2017

Dark and derivative. PG-13? Are you kidding me? Don't send kids to this…

Review of Split (2017)

By Roger Tennis (246) for Cinemaclips.com (246) on 20 Jan 2017

Director/writer M. Night Shyamalan returns with a chilling and disturbing slice of psychological horror…

Review of Split (2017)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 20 Jan 2017

Shyamalan's distinct style - stiff, formal, sometimes ludicrous and operatic, pockmarked with comedy - is back in full bloom…

Review of Split (2017)

By Daniel M. Kimmel (1,403) for New England Movies Weekly (716) on 20 Jan 2017

Perhaps the most charitable way to look at Split is that is a cry for help by its director. Stop me before I film again, he seems to be saying…

Review of Split (2017)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 20 Jan 2017

M. Knight Shyamalan's movies often have plots that chase their tails…

Review of Split (2017)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 20 Jan 2017

Split is the best M. Night Shyamalan creation in recent memory, as anchored by a great performance (or, rather, performances) by James McAvoy…

Review of Split (2017)

By Jeffrey Bloomer (47) for Slate (2,081) on 20 Jan 2017

Shyamalan has made the straightest thriller of his career, nearly free of the misguided detours and bonkers twists that made him famous…

Review of Split (2017)

By Robert Horton (590) for HeraldNet (Everett, WA) (288) on 20 Jan 2017

McAvoy is having a grand time, and watching him slide from person to person is like an acting class for our benefit…

Review of Split (2017)

By Christian Toto (897) for HollywoodInToto.com (350) on 20 Jan 2017

With apologies to Mr. Cool J, this is indeed a comeback for Shyamalan…

Review of Split (2017)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Newark Star-Ledger (1,745) on 20 Jan 2017

It's a mystery that falls apart at the first touch…

Review of Split (2017)

By Sonny Bunch (405) for Washington Free Beacon (282) on 20 Jan 2017

You have to see Split on its opening weekend…

Review of Split (2017)

By Jonathan W. Hickman (551) for Daily Film Fix (355) on 20 Jan 2017

smaller narratives better fit Shyamalan's eye. And Split is a successful more confined project that fits remarkably well into his quirky canon…

Review of Split (2017)

By Jay Stone (286) for Ex-Press.com (333) on 20 Jan 2017

It's all too much, despite a bravura performance by McAvoy, who sinks his teeth into the rich and unusual opportunity to portray so many unhinged…

Review of Split (2017)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 20 Jan 2017

The movie as a whole is not serious enough to work as a drama and not entertaining enough to qualify as escapism…

Review of Split (2017)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 20 Jan 2017

Split doesn't do enough to overcome its weaknesses, bouncing between a grungy horror exploitation flick, a psychological thriller and a supervillain…

Review of Split (2017)

By Julian Roman (454) for MovieWeb (460) on 19 Jan 2017

James McAvoy is a one man show here. He gives a psychopathic tour de force performance. Split is M. Night Shyamalan's best film in fifteen years…

Review of Split (2017)

By David Medsker (361) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 19 Jan 2017

Somewhere in [M. Night Shyamalan's head] is another killer story. But Split isn't it…

Review of Split (2017)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 19 Jan 2017

Shyamalan creates nail-biting tension and gives McAvoy room to create a vast array of interesting characters within a single body…

Review of Split (2017)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 19 Jan 2017

Moodying with faux menace around the nutter's underworld, Shyamalan fails to develop his three-pack of vapid victims and pads his script with…
