The psychological thriller, Blink Twice, directed by Zoë Kravitz, along with; Channing tatum, E.T. Feigenbaum, Christian Slater, Aaron Himelstein, Adam Newport-Berra, Bruce Cohen, Saul Williams, and Kyle MacLachlan is a suspenseful film that reveals what is truly happening on this party island.

Description by Reddit

When tech billionaire Slater King meets cocktail waitress Frida at his fundraising gala, he invites her to join him and his friends for a dream vacation on his private island. Wild nights soon blend into sun-soaked days, but when strange things start to happen, Frida must uncover the truth if she hopes to make it out alive.

This was the first time I’d ever seen a trigger warning displayed before a film, and it was definitely warranted. This movie was dark and twisted, reflecting a harsh reality that some women face. This film is very empowering for woman as it has a main message of “power,” and woman re-claiming and defending their power.

Plot: 5/5

This movie took an unexpected turn that I felt was coming but I could never have predicted what it would be. It was incredibly intriguing, keeping me engaged and on the edge of my seat the entire time. I really enjoyed the plot, especially how the ending unfolded in a way I never anticipated. Zoë Kravitz said she was inspired “the rage and confusion she felt after the Me Too movement,” and I think that rage was perfectly integrated in the film.

Acting: 5/5

Blink Twice featured some very well known actors who did an excellent job executing their roles. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be for some of the cast members to play the role they did, however, the acting made this film what it was. I also enjoyed that even how dark the film was some comedy was mixed in to lighten it up.

Cinematography: 5/5

Compared to the other films I have watched so far, this one was very modern. The lighting and scenery set the tone giving it a stylish and luxurious feel.

Overall, I really appreciated the message of this film and how relatable it can be for women in various ways. Now that I’ve seen it and know the ending, I’m curious to watch it again to see what clues I might pick up that I missed the first time.
