There has been much discussion about whether or not it is socially acceptable to watch Split. I'm gonna skip right over all of that and talk purely about the movie itself. Anya Taylor-Joy is good, but McAvoy is what makes Split worthwhile. The heavily touted twist/reveal was all but a non-event, even to a M. Night alum like myself. Tho...

Split was a movie that I was a bit weary to see, I had been bitten by M. Knight before and I wasn't sure if this movie would be worth while. But the trailers looked great and I had always thought James McAvoy was a seriously underrated actor. Split surprised me. I loved this movie. Ann Taylor-Joy was decent in the film and the Dr was ...

**Didnt see the review section at first so,I posted on the forums** Not a fan of The director since Unbreakable. It was slightly above average but no whee near the quality of The Sixth Sence.

I read some reviews and gave this movie a shot. I was very disappointed. M. Night Shyamalan's last good movie, in my opinion of course, was The Village, where he had control over his style. In Split he tries to use the same formula, but it doesn't work. There was no build up in reveling the plot, and then when we get to the end the ...

**The 24th's about to explode!** The much needed break for the director Shyamalan. It has been over a decade since the last time he was lauded like this for his work. On the paper, it was a simple split personality disaster theme, but cinematically clicked so well. Firstly the performance of James McAvoy made this film a very success. ...

M. Night Shyamalan’s Split is a psychological thriller that keeps you on edge from start to finish, largely thanks to James McAvoy’s phenomenal performance. Playing a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder, McAvoy seamlessly switches between personalities, each one distinct and captivating. It’s a performance so versatile and gripp...
