while not perfect, and despite falling victim occasionally to some of the genre's more frustrating tropes, Split is easily the most exciting, fun, and interesting film M. Night Shyamalan has made in over a decade
the director ties themes together at the end with more finesse than usual, letting a couple of meaningful visuals speak for themselves where he might have thrown in a line or two of explanatory dialogue. And as for that final twist, it's a doozy
a movie like Split does not function without an actor of McAvoy's caliber in the lead role. But Shyamalan also does his part with moments of cinematic flourish
