Split 2017

to be completely fair, i liked this movie when it came out. i like james mcavoy and i love anya taylor-joy. but i don't like that dissociative identity disorder, a disorder that is already viewed by too many people to be dangerous or 'not real,' is being used as the premise for a horror movie like this, especially without providing any context or benefit to help people understand that this is an acutal disorder that real people struggle with. it would be ridiculous to think anyone would come away from this movie thinking that people with DID can turn into supernatural beasts, but it doesn't help that the only character in this movie with DID is the one who is kidnapping young girls and holding them captive. it's irritating. right up there with sia's 'music.'
