Critics Consensus

A bold and memorable debut that thrusts Zoë Kravitz into the turf of directors to watch, Blink Twice is a live wire of a film.

Audience Says

Blink Twice may make you squint at times, but a few strong performances and a stylish mise-en-scène are enough to make this sometimes-gratuitous shindig fairly palatable.

One of Kravitz’s major accomplishments in the movie is how she and the cinematographer, Adam Newport-Berra, make an island paradise feel like hell on Earth.

Kravitz has style and good timing, and Ackie is fantastic in the lead, capable of conveying both “cool girl” and absolute eye-bolting horror.

Rated: 3/5

The Wandering Screen (YouTube)

Editor Kathryn J. Schubert showcases the intentionality of an effective edit. Scenes are interrupted mid-conversation, night changes to day abruptly, and it’s like time has passed and has stayed the same.

Rated: B+

It's a powerful, layered film that will stick with you long after you’ve finished watching and may even have you blinking twice.

Crystal B

The film opens with a trigger warning due to the depiction of sexual violence against women, indicating that viewers are about to watch a controversial story. The title, "Blink Twice," refers to the old adage suggesting that if someone is in trouble, a true ally would blink twice to signal for help. However, I felt it fell off with trying to include multiple themes all at once (technology, traumas, cancel culture, etc.). However, I will say Channing Tatum did well with acting in this movie cementing his talents to multi-genres.
