The film starts off a bit bland, and then the story turns out to be a weird version of Fatal Attraction or Blossoms, but it's entertaining and engaging. This type of film is highlighting the representative style of Neil Jordan. The suspenseful elements are built slowly, but enough to keep the audience guessing, even though some of the scenes fall into the trap of standard "stalking" movies. In fact, the less you know about the plot before you watch it, the more surprising the movie is. Jordan's professionalism in the genre is on full display, with his deft use of misdirection and constant switching of tune to keep the story going and make it incredibly entertaining for the audience. Chloë Grace Moretz's performance in the film is remarkable, showing her potential, deftly mastering the authenticity of the film without losing control of those exaggerated emotional moments. But Isabelle Huppert's chilling performance is the essence of the film, and without her more-than-expected acting, the film would have failed miserably. Apart from some minor flaws in the script, this suspense thriller is really another great proof of Pell's acting skills. This is not a masterpiece in the film industry, but it re-told a routine movie in an interesting and novel way. The audience who likes suspense thrillers will like this movie very much, even if it is only for Jordan's re-shot and Huppert's acting skills are worth watching

Huppert always plays a vicious old woman, but she doesn't have to worry about being stereotyped at all. The next second she turns to play a loving mother, and she won't play that kind of drama at all. Probably this is a real great actor (of course, it may also be my real fan filter. mirror blindness). Although this story is very unreasonable and disturbing, it is quite interesting to think about it carefully. For example, although it is set in New York, the subway stations, apartment buildings, streets, etc. are all overhead and rebuilt, so that people know that this is New York, and they can also conclude that this is not New York at all. The whole is a bit of a sinister fantasy of New York, a weird mash-up of both outsiders and New Yorkers. What's hidden in every lonely man's house. Well, I admit that my fan filter is too heavy. This movie is quite ordinary, and after watching it, it is likely to be cursed...
