Community Reviews
Opinions on 'Split' are largely positive, with viewers particularly impressed by James McAvoy's performance, which many describe as a tour de force in portraying multiple distinct personalities. The film's exploration of dissociative identity disorder (DID) and its psychological depth are appreciated, though some find the portrayal of DID exaggerated and the horror elements a bit clichéd. The suspense and thriller aspects are well-received, keeping viewers on edge, though the final transformation into 'The Beast' divides opinions.
