The reversal is not thorough enough

Strictly speaking, the three protagonists in the whole movie use morality to demand that there is no "good person"!

Emily: I killed my father when I was young, and I killed my sister when I was older! Directly violated the law!

Stephanie: It was a bit silly at first, but as the plot goes deeper, you will find that she is actually much more complicated than her appearance. She has a relationship with her own brother, and she is still in love, which indirectly caused the death of both her husband and brother! After that, he found out the secret of Emily's life experience and the truth about his death, and finally arrested Emily and put him in jail! If the movie had a reversal at the end, she designed to kill her brother and husband because she was greedy for insurance money, and deliberately seduce Sean, the plot would be even more exciting!

Sean: On the surface, it is suave, but in fact, he has been weak in his marriage with Emily! After going to bed with Stephanie, she still had some confusion with her female student!

The overall tension of watching the plot can’t let go of it!

    Brother fucker vs Sister killer. In the "Disappearing Lover" version, Anna Kendrick is too strong, there is no disrespect for people, the performance is really too good, and overwhelming the strong Revley. Thanks to the wonderful performances of the actors and the well-thought-out script, this is the kind of film that will never be cold in the whole process. The final continuous reversal was too dramatic and exaggerated, and there are many ways to choose the ending, but the director still chose the most politically correct one, and the blackness of the story was also compromised.

    [to Emily]

    Stephanie: You used me too. But you had me made you dinner, watching your kid, sucking your dick.

    Sean: I had no idea that she was still alive!

    Stephanie: Stop lying.

    Emily: Okay, you guys. I think we should just sit down and talk this out.

    Sean: Emily, you sit down. You hated Stephanie. You used to watch her vlog and rip her apart.

    Stephanie: All I wanted was to be your friend.

    Emily: You were. And then you fucked my husband and my insurance plan.

    Sean: Don't blame her! This is so typical of you!

    Emily: Sean, I was just trying to get us out of crushing fucking debt.

    Sean: Yeah, maybe if you had the good sense to give me a call, I could've helped you with this little plot of yours.
