Very satisfied

Rating: 8/10 (1 February 2017)

I went to see this movie with fairly high expectations (something I try not to do). But even then, I walked away very satisfied. Shyamalan's recent movies may not have been the biggest hits, but Split is his step back into the spotlight. And this is largely due to James McAvoy's performance(s). Preparing for one role is hard enough, but he manages to not only tackle multiple ones, but switch from one to the other in an instant. Anya Taylor-Joy also does a great job as the lead actress, and I admit my expectations for her were high after watching The Witch. But if none of that convinces you, at least watch it for the multiple twists that Shyamalan pulls throughout. I thought Split was a great movie and I definitely recommend it to anyone who may be interested in seeing it.
