What on earth was that. That wasn't an open question. Just no. Cringe after cringe. Too weak for its title and the characters were flat. The main problem though for me was the amount of cringe moments. How this got a high score I'll never know. See IMDB for the actual rating.

Very good psycho story. It's as if you took a Hallmark family movie and slowly added nuts until it bubbled over with crazy. There's nothing gory or supernatural - it's all in the mind. Interesting portrayal of a psychotic in the way the subject can be regressed but aware enough to plan events to damage others. Don't want to give anything away; if you like a good psycho thriller, give it a try.

Great watch, could watch again, and can recommend. This is a great realistic psychological thriller. You literally get to watch Caitlin Stasey carry the movie as a woman slowly showing that she's going crazy. Honestly, with level of acting she displays in this, I'm honestly confused why she isn't as big as her co-star, Thora Birch, who feels incredibly under utilized. Though, this is the first time I've seen her able and playing a "mom type" character. While Stasey clearly carries the movie, Sasha Frolova does her fair share of work as well. The story itself is pretty average, but there is just enough production value put into it, and the idea is executed so well that it feels like excellent writing. To be fair, it did take quite a bit of talent to write the webs of lies weaved in the story. The level of sociopathy displayed is amazing. It's a great movie from a psychological perspective, and I'm sure if you like "social drama" or suspense, then you'll like this one.

This is directed more like a Porno that never reaches the nitty gritty than a real film. Acting is as stiff as i'v seen and completely untrue to life. Storyline of the film is completely lacking any real driving force, they even skip our sex scenes and replace with someone ruffling their hair afterwards. Completely unconvincing. Don't BOTHER!

This is actually the only movie that I've watched for couple of weeks which is absolutely worthy to spend your time to have actual fun. Actors perfectly performed their roles and the screenplay is groundbreaking. I'm definitely going to add it to my favorite movies of all times.

Caitlin stasey with a breakout performance here showing her range . I am not going to talk badly about this movie at all and I loved all the caniving going on and pitting everyone against each other . I do think they went a little over the top with the childish act and it didn’t seem reasonable but who am I to say what’s reasonable. This just wasn’t my type of movie, however, I could see other people giving this very high reviews . I’m going to settle with a 2.6 based solely on it just not being for me

What starts out as a somewhat interesting meditation on mental illness and jealousy slowly devolves into a middling lifetime movie of the week as Caitlin Stasey's one-note performance literally takes down the entire narrative.

This is a film that focuses on the complications of female relationships and how dangerous jealousy, obsession and possession can be.

Rated: 3/5

Birth.Movies.Death.

The characters are well rounded, and there are enough variations on the sub-genre's formula that keep it from feeling like a throwback, making it a fully engaging experience.

Thanks to Caitlin Stasey's bold performance, Kindred Spirits will make you feel all kinds of uncomfortable in this rather special re-imagining of the Single White Female story.

Flickering Myth

The sometimes underwhelming writing and direction of Lucky McKee's latest are propped up at all times by Caitlin Stasey's firecracker performance.

Strong performances and a tone that seamlessly blends the mundane with danger bubbling underneath hold it all together.
