POSITIVES…
Premise isn't entirely original, but there aren't a lot of movies like this about stressed out pianists. So that gets my attention right there.
Ominous, intriguing, and suspenseful.
The tense atmosphere and tone works well for this film.
That journal. One of the most interesting things about this movie.
Sydney Sweeney as Juliet is incredibly dramatic, intense, and carries the movie excellently.
Juliet's relationship with her fraternal twin sister Vi; played by the also excellent Madison Iseman, is one of the best plot elements to this movie.
The themes and message of this story is not unique, but it's a strong driving force that justifies the plot progression.
NEGATIVES…
Due to the plot, several of the decisions certain characters make come off as just dumb, or inexplicably stupid.
There seems to be some illogical mistakes in the story telling, that makes it feel like there are plot holes.
Some of the plot turns and reveals also felt a bit too cliche.
The ending will either frustrate you, or leave you disappointed, depending on how you react to it.
If you wanted a scare-fest, then this movie is not what you're looking for.
