Rivals Unbreakable as Shyamalans best

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2017)

This film is superb. I am stunned by the poor reviews on here. I've never written an IMDb review before but am doing so now mostly as a protest to those who are not giving this movie the credit it deserves. I'm a Psychotherapist, so I think I have a little credibility to speak to the psychological component of the plot. Yes, DID is controversial (I personally don't believe in it) but the movie's portrayal absolutely fits with some accounts of the disorder. The information shared is right in accordance with true-to-life *supposed* cases of it. Of course, this is entertainment and not a case study, so Shyamalan certainly took some liberties with how he chose to depict DID. I will not say anymore about the story because I think the less you know going into it, the better. But I will say my husband and I both loved it. It was intense and terrifying. The plot is interesting, the story is well executed, and the cinematography superb. The acting is what made the movie. Without an excellent actor it would be unwatchable, but of course he did a flawless job. A solid 10/10.
