An unique character

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2017)

Three girls are abducted by a mysterious person who proves to suffer from a rare disorder, having no more than 23 distinct personalities who fight each other to get into the light. The girls must try to use their intelligence and outsmart at least one of the personalities in a desperate attempt to escape.
It's a thrilling movie which impresses through the main character's extreme depth and complexity but also by a surprise personality which waits quietly to come into the light and cause havoc if not stopped as soon as possible. Although apparently linear, the plot holds a few secrets up its sleeve, waiting for the right moment to reveal them. What it impresses the most when talking about this film, is by far the amazing performance of James McAvoy which simply shines. I even dare to say that it is his best act in his career so far, thus making this movie a must see only judging by this aspect alone. It also leaves plenty of room for a sequel, fact which can only make me happy. What I must point though, as a downside, is that the finale felt a bit rushed, lacking something deep to keep it on par with the rest of the movie. It's not bad but it doesn't provide satisfaction, leaving you sort of hangingÂ…
Overall, it is a very good movie which I strongly recommend, while waiting patiently for the (hopefully) upcoming sequel.
