Significant Other

Take the girl from It Follows, impressive forests and an average screenplay with hackneyed ideas, put it all together and you have genre pap for Paramount+ subscribers. It’s interesting for a moment but otherwise ridiculous, thoroughly bland and unnecessary. (03/10/2023)

Well, ladies and gentlemen, this movie looked like a meticulously crafted delight right from the beginning. About halfway through, you're blown away by the brilliant twist that catches everyone off guard - absolutely AWESOME! And then? I don't even know how to put it into words, but it just kind of goes bonkers and takes a 180-degree turn, and suddenly it's like a comedy, WTF? And then it's back to horror, and then I don't know what... Long story short, this movie is definitely original, with a lot of perfect details, and the first half deserves five stars... but then it takes a steep dive downhill. However, in the end, I found myself contemplating it for about 30 minutes after it ended, so it actually worked, and why not? I would probably recommend this movie - it's not an Oscar-worthy, but it's definitely something original after a long time. (05/25/2023)

A passable B-movie. The plus side is the nicely shot mysterious forest and Maika Monroe, the minus side is the strange tonal shift about halfway through and Jake Lacy, or rather the character of Harry. He struck me as strangely plankish from the beginning, but then it is the concept of his character that completely ruins the atmosphere of the film. (10/17/2022)
