Split Movie Review

So a few days ago I went with a friend and saw the movie Split, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
It was good...
I can't believe I just wrote that a Shyamalan movie was good...
What is this world coming too...
Anyways, James McAvoy was perfect for this role, after watching his performance I can't picture any other actor taking the role. When he changed between personalities he completely became a different character, he could just change his facial expressions ever so slightly, and you would know that he is someone else know.
Anya Taylor-Joy, a young 20 year old actress, who played the character Casey Cooke, gave an excellent performance, I can't wait to see more of her work. She truly could be a rising star.
There was a subtleness about the camera work that added something more to the film, which added a layer of depth that can only be seen through watching this yourself.
So are there any downfalls to this film? Yes, yes there are. James McAvoy's character has a therapist, which I believe her dialogue could have been better written, and I believe her motivation that's withheld in her interest in James McAvoy's character could have been better explained.
I overall enjoyed the film though.


finale score:4.5/5

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
