I forgot to mention…. Another common complain is that this movie is too straightforward and doesn’t have that ‘Shyamalamadingdong Twist’, and they expected a twist but it failed to subvert expectations….. Well…. If you’re going in to it hoping/expecting a twist, having your expectations subverted and it was straightforward… it STILL subverted expectations by NOT having one! I’m actually glad it didn’t have one and he attempted a straightforward narrative, though I still do wish it was more ambiguous
I agree. A good movie with an underbaked premise. My favorites were the couple. They kept me interested in the film. What is "woke"? Btw, you sound less congested from when I first started listening to you back in 2019. 👍
I can’t say this movie was bad with how great the performances were and I liked a lot of the psychological aspects. But as thriller I thought it was disappointing. It got repetitive and walking out of it I felt really underwhelmed. Not one of M. Night’s worst but not his best either.

I guess that’s good to hear. I didn’t think the premise was underbaked

By psychological, you mean not knowing whether they’re who they say they are or if they are targeting them? Just the ambiguity?
Nice one ☝️
One of the more tolerable works from M Night
