Don't listen to the negative reviews

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

I am so disappointed as I think this film had HUGE potential.Positives: The acting, especially the lead Chloe Grace Moretz, was superb. Her portrayal of a person 'slipping away', from themselves and family, was amazing. This section of the film had me gripped and I was pondering why there was so many negative reviews and low ratings. Which leads me on to: Negatives: The voice over really annoyed me, and turned the film into a 'made for young people' film, which actually is insulting to young people. It left me feeling the subject was being 'dumbed down', and a waste of talented actors. I cannot stand voice overs when used for telling me,rather than showing me, what is happening. Especially when you have such a telanted lead. Now my main negative, the ending. It felt hollow and rushed and I felt cheated out of a character that I wanted to know so much more about. Dr. Najjar. He is clearly a fascinating man, and I was left feeling his amazing work was put in a tiny packet, with a little bow on, for us 'dumb viewers'!

As a person who had an auto immune disease I found this movie very interesting to watch. It was recommended by a Facebook group for autoimmune diseases. The movie moved along at a good pace and the acting was wonderful.

I watched this with a group of people and we all liked it. We did think that the acting was poor in some scenes. But Chloë Grace Moretz did an amazing job showing what Suzzanah went through. It's one of those movies that has you guessing till the very end.
