M. Night Shyamalan is really back. After the quite solid 2015, "The Visit", he returns with the brilliant "Split". After some flops, he returned to his origins that threw him into the spolight, and brought two good movies in a row.
This movie builds, builds, to a very intense final act. Wonderful realization of M. Night Shyamalan. Man knows how to create suspense.
The performances were also very good. I believe that if "Split" had premiered between October and December, James McAvoy had a good chance of being nominated for an Oscar. The way he transforms himself into the different personalities, is not any actor who can do that. It felt natural. Anya Taylor-Joy was also very good. As for the other girls, they were "ok".
I really hope there is a sequel. Etcetera...
I'm so grateful to James McAvoy for inventing the acting
