I just don't get the hype

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2018)

Frankly, I really didn't understand the hype, and I found the racial aspect quite tacked on. I think the transfer of consciousness theme was explored much better in (underappreciated) Self/less (2015) - IMDb and I don't think the horror aspect really had anything The Stepford Wives hasn't thoroughly covered. The only memorable element of the movie was the best friend's comic relief.
Hey, I'm not saying it was bad, all things considered. It was a perfectly serviceable sci-fi/horror thriller. I just don't see it being anything particularly special. I think an awful lot of the accolades it's getting about exposing racial issues have far more to do with viewer's projections and wishful thinking than anything inherent in the film.
