I'm so torn...

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2019)

I wanted to love this, I did and I do ... Kind of. I'm going to watch it again to be fair.

For the good... Music! Fantastic loved it and it kept me so glued to the movie. Lupita is amazing, I love her and couldn't take my eyes off of her or the other version, definitely a scene stealer and absolutely gorgeous.
Now, for the not so good. It was super creepy in the beginning and sometimes throughout. Although, I figured out the twist immediately, just couldn't see how it would tie into the whole premise. It also gives hints that there was a switch. The mom not wanting to kill her tethered kids. I swear she made little clicky noises too. Also the whistling at the end. It sucks when you figure out a movie so early.
The dad.... Oh my I couldn't stand him! Who does that? Who looks at a creepy copy of yourself and says take our credit cards whatever you want? Where was the wtf moment? These aren't strangers, they're you! He was whiny too.
Questions... If the switch had been made early, did the moms character, remember who she was the whole time or did it slowly come back to her? Why didnt the real version say, hey she's a fraud? Why was she leading an underground army while doing hands across America? Why didnt she go back up the escalator? Where was the government that made these people? Were they abandoned? They surely would've run out of rabbits to eat. Why did they make em? Did the son know she was bad the whole time or just the end? Why was he wearing a mask? What was his magic trick? I don't know.... I'm going to watch it again because I want to like it but so many questions. I guess the movie is great if you just take what they give you and don't question it. Sit back, enjoy but please, don't think or it will ruin it.
