It's a shame that it's now basically impossible to watch this movie as intended, with absolutely no concept that there's going to be any kind of tie-in to Unbreakable (or indeed ANYTHING else). That reveal on top of actually seeing Shyamalan do a good movie again was one of the most exciting movie experiences of the last several years.

The only reason this movie is not in my top ten favorites list of 2017 is because the year was so crowded that a lot of films didn’t make the list. I will say that this movie does get an honorable mention for that year. James McAvoy’s performance as Kevin Wendell Crumb and his many personalities could very well be some of his best work, if not his best. Great though he is, however, I have to say that, for me anyway, Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as Casey stole the movie. Like you pointed out, it’s great how the movie showcases the different mentalities between the girls of how to escape and/or deal with Kevin to escape. Since you mentioned Peter Capaldi in Doctor Who, it recalls one of my favorite lines of his as the Doctor which was, “Sometimes the only choices you have are bad ones. But you still have to choose.” As to your reaction to the ending, I liked how even though you knew that there was a connection to Unbreakable, you were still surprised by the ending. When this came out, as I see Ryan already commented, there was zero indication that Unbreakable and Split had any connection, save for Shyamalan being the director of both. I genuinely cannot put into words just how happy I was when I first saw Split and realized that it was connected to Unbreakable. I love that you really loved Unbreakable and Split. Your reactions to both movies have been superb. Hopefully somewhere down the line you’ll be able to react to Glass. Can’t wait to see Jojo Rabbit with you next month.

Happy New Years! Another great reaction.. etcetera!

Netflix has a great true life story '24 faces of Billy Miligan' which has disturbingly similarities to Split. Well worth a watch for anyone x

Great reaction. I liked this movie - not as much as Unbreakable but it was good. McAvoy is amazing. The moment in the psychiatrist's office when Dennis stops pretending to be Barry and introduces himself is just incredible. You literally see the transformation even though it's just the way he holds himself. I liked that we saw different ways of reacting to the situation. The fact that Casey had her own way of coping that was informed by her past seemed very real to me. Also they managed to show disturbing scenes in an appropriate way. I've always thought that the long look that Casey gives the female cop at the end is her deciding whether to say something about her uncle. I'd like to think she does but obviously the movie leaves it open. I haven't seen Glass but will probably do so at some point now, definitely would vote for it in a poll ;)

So glad to see you watch this, brilliant performances from McAvoy and Taylor-Joy. I remember my first time watching it I was praying that the "traumatic event" they kept cutting back to was just her accidentally shooting her uncle/father, and not....that. Also a detail i'd honestly never noticed until watching through it again with you is the fact that she gets herself purposefully put into detention after school so she can spend less time at home being abused by her uncle, which we are led to assume has continued right up until the events of this movie. Really hope you'll return to watch Glass sometime soon, I doubt there's enough support for it to win a poll but it would be a shame to leave this trilogy incomplete now.
