Review of Split (2017) by Dann M — 15 Sep 2017
James McAvoy stars in M. Night Shyamalan's incredibly intense psychological thriller Split. The story follows three teenage girls who are abducted by a man with multiple personality disorder. McAvoy gives an extraordinary performance, doing an amazing job at shifting between personalities and at making each one distinct.
Additionally, the storytelling is rather impressive, developing tension and intrigue especially well, along with a mind-bending twist (a Shyamalan trademark). Still, there are a couple of plot points that are kind of left hanging and ambiguous.
Yet despite a few weaknesses, Split is a solid film and a return to form for Shyamalan, whose work over the last few years has been rather lackluster.
