Critics Consensus

Split serves as a dramatic tour de force for James McAvoy in multiple roles -- and finds writer-director M. Night Shyamalan returning resoundingly to thrilling form.

This is still not mint-condition Shyamalan, but he's heading in the right direction, with some help from McAvoy, who gives Kevin-and 23 other characters-all that he's got.

Film Comment Magazine

The way that Shyamalan and Gioulakis emphasize close-ups and medium shots make for a taut, clean forcefulness that...give Split a leaner, hipper feel very different from the increasingly aestheticized studio polish of Shyamalan's earlier work.

Cinema Elite

It may not be as perfect as “Unbreakable,” [but] it dazzles and terrifies you enough to think about the many emotional implications of its three central characters.

Rated: 4/5

Split is Shyamalan's return to his early 2000's self (...) James McAvoy delivers his career-best performance.

McAvoy's performance is most effective during the subtle changes in his body language as he shifts from one personality to the next...

This psychological thriller is okay, very interesting and it does keeps you on your toes and each turn and makes you say “Wow” when his each personality comes out and you do feel for the girls and want a god outcome and the special cameo if u haven’t seen it, is worth the watch to get there, I promise. It does have tropes like not only why he doing this but a get idea why he pick these and real get know one of them by her memories in certain scenes and the girls start making to stupid decisions to escape and like “What Hell R U Doin” those things happen in those types movies. One more thing, the acting is good, written and direct and even the originally is there but wanted a better ending or at least a good twist that lead to “Glass” you know. All in all give a A👍🏽👍🏽

It was good but weird. I liked the first movie better and is definitely better now that I watched this sequel.

It was good. Unpredictable. I didn’t like the supernatural aspect to it.

Split is potential, but it's flawed. Worth the watch, I can say that.

Absolutely brilliant performances with a fantastic story at its helm, "Split" is easily one of Shyamalan's best works and a bone chilling film that excels on nearly every level.
