The movie is well-made, with excellent cinematography and music. James McAvoy delivers a stunning performance, playing the different personalities of Kevin with such subtlety and nuance that you can't help but be both terrified and fascinated by him.
Anya Taylor-Joy also shines in her role as one of the kidnapped girls, who tries to understand and manipulate Kevin's personalities in order to escape. Her character's backstory is slowly revealed throughout the movie, adding depth to her character and increasing the tension.
The film also deals with the subject of mental illness in a respectful way, avoiding common stereotypes and showing the complexity of dissociative identity disorder.
The pacing of the movie is effective, building tension and creating a sense of dread as the audience waits for the inevitable confrontation between Kevin and the girls. The climax is intense and satisfying, with a twist ending that is both surprising and satisfying.
Overall, "Split" is a well-crafted thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It's a great showcase of James McAvoy's acting talent and M. Night Shyamalan's directing skills, and is definitely worth a watch.
