This is the best non cartoon movie of the year... I wrote that it was the best movie of the year but that was before Onward... but it was a great movie. I would give it 4 stars I think. I'm not sure if this is a movie everyone would enjoy- I know a lot of people can't really do horror movies and this movie is about kind of a heavy subject matter that might be hard for people to watch. It is about Domestic Abuse and even though it's presented in a fantastical way- it is still a hard thing to watch physical and emotional abuse quite like this. And it is a really serious problem that a lot of women face... and while I did see the trailer and that made it very obvious... but if you just saw the TV commercials for it or heard that there was an Invisible Man reboot coming out- I don't think it's quite as obvious that it's about domestic abuse.
This movie was actually scary! I'm not someone that gets easily scared by movies... but this one creeped me out a bit. It really was not predictable either. I knew that in the end we would see Cecelia get a satisfying ending because... you really NEED her to in order for this movie to be good. If she didn't get out of this situation... it wouldn't have been as good in my opinion. I thought they were maybe going to leave it open ended... which I guess they did to an extent but... without too many spoilers I liked the ending and I liked the movie.
There was one moment in this movie where it seemed like a comic relief scene where everything was going to be okay and Cecelia was maybe starting to get at least pieces of the life that her ex Adrian had taken away from her... and then he shows up unexpectedly and TOTALLY sets the movie in a different direction that I really enjoyed. It was scary- I gasped and the rest of the theater probably will too... I saw it in Dolby- which I will probably do a separate review on Dolby theaters cause... they're totally amazing! But... we really couldn't hear anything other than the movie and it wasn't full... but we gasped and idk if anyone else did! Lol.
Anyway after that moment happened the whole rest of the movie was just really exciting and amazing... kind of the edge of your seat type of thing! Totally great!
So yeah. Great movie... would definitely watch it again and again. It was really fun and I'd watch more movies if they made more of them too. I really liked this one a lot. Elizabeth Moss did a fantastic job and it was just really good overall!
Bye!
