Udita Jhunjhunwala Livemint 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. Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Jonathan Romney 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. Mar 8, 2018 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Cautiously recommended. Rated: 3/5 Dec 27, 2017 Full Review Ankit Ojha 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 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews Split is Shyamalan's return to his early 2000's self (...) James McAvoy delivers his career-best performance.

Elijah Best acting performance next to Heath Ledger as Joker Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Audience Member Salah satu film psikologi terbaik. Menyuguhkan kedalaman cerita yang dapat membangun suasana yang benar-benar dapat dirasakan oleh penonton. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Ainda melhor que o primeiro. James Mcavoy merecia um Oscar pela interpretação brilhante se mais de 20 personagens de uma única vez. Definitivamente uma obra prima. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Dean E McAvoy is literally a beast when it comes to acting, awesome movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Riccardo D Just a great movie. An interesting view on multiple personality disorder and an original Shamalayan piece. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Fake N It does a good job on portraying DID in a creepy, scary way. It should be noted that I personally only have a very basic understanding of DID. It should also be noted that I only figured out that this film was a part of a trilogy after watching this film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
