back in the zone

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2018)

A lot of people had written Shyamalan off as a director that would only do awful movies since he had been stuck in a rut for the majority of the 21st century, but these people forgot that only the good you do that matters (have you ever watched Alfred Hitchcock's bad movies? Dear god!). While 2015's The Visit returned him as a director that's a force to be reckoned with, with Split he got even better, giving us perhaps his greatest movie yet. James McAvoy may get overlooked by the Oscars for his multilayered performance, but those that pay attention know how hard it really is to pull a multiple personality disorder off and have it not be laughable.
