Sixth Sense director M. Night Shymalan has impressed with his latest film Split, staring James McAvoy. The film shows Kevin, a man with a condition called dissociative identity disorder, who kidnaps three young girls. Each personality treats and speaks to the girls differently.
James McAvoy (X-Men: Apocalypse) manages to portray these personalities perfectly, being able to switch clearly into different identities and change his voice and gestures with ease. The characters range from a nine-year-old boy to a highly religious woman, the final personality leading into a supernatural monster type named ‘the beast’. McAvoy was able to captivate the audience with his performance, making us laugh, scream in fear and question what was going to happen next. McAvoy’s co-star Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) also gave an exceptional performance as Casey, one of the kidnapped girls.
In Split, Shyamalan sticks to the usual directorial style that is expected with his films. That is the ending having a twist and, for Shyamalan’s fans, this film didn’t fail to impress.
