I missed the review section initially and shared my thoughts on a discussion board. I haven’t enjoyed this director’s work since *Unbreakable*. It was decent, but nowhere close to the standard of *The Sixth Sense*. I often find myself watching his films anyway, likely in the hope that one will eventually reach that same remarkable level. With all the excitement beforehand, I believed this might be it. I felt let down considerably. My rating places it below *Unbreakable*. It’s unclear to me precisely where things went wrong, but I struggled to stay engaged—and I don't have ADHD; I can easily watch three-hour biographical films. Some parts were somewhat entertaining, particularly the girls’ silly attempts at escape. However, McAvoy seemed unenthusiastic in portraying his multiple characters. Considering all the awards buzz, I anticipated a more impressive and varied performance from him. Sadly, as with many of Night's films, it felt like the actors were going through the motions, almost as if McAvoy was fighting against the director’s vision. He wasn’t alone in delivering an understated performance; the doctor and the three teenage girls also seemed to hold back. I questioned why the doctor didn’t react more strongly or use her abilities—she's stated she can—to investigate the situation earlier, instead of a nonchalant goodbye when another personality appeared for the appointment. I place this film within the same tier as Night’s other directorial efforts, with the exception of *The Sixth Sense* and *Devil*, which he didn’t direct but did write the original stories for. Regarding the ending, I thought it felt forced. If the intention was to convey that they exist simultaneously, the point was too obvious. If it's a reference to an *Unbreakable* sequel, I'll skip it and watch something else in theaters.
