In a word: bizarre.

I'm curious about the opinions of others, I don't really know what to think about this.

Interesting, the concept of a ghost twin who wants to take over Fay's life. Fay is going through puberty and has more and more on her plate. Her father is terminally ill and her mother is doing it with someone else and doesn't even hide it, he's just sitting in a car with someone else in her own driveway, where her sick husband can see. Meanwhile, Fay is having problems at school, partly due to her rival Monica, who copies her in everything out of jealousy, and partly due to her own concentration problems and delusions. The fact that Fay and Monica both have long red hair is confusing, as a viewer we think that she is the one who stalks Fay everywhere, especially when Monica cuts her long red locks short in the same hairstyle shortly after Fay. We only find out later that Fay had a twin sister, who died in the womb because the parents had to choose at the time, whether one baby dies or both babies plus the mother. Monica is a disruptor who adds even more confusion to Fay's life, but the real source of problems is the twin sister, who wants to take over Fay's life because she thinks it is unfair that she had to die.

Well, as viewers we are led astray a few times. The film is more of a puzzle, there are no real scares, just a few drops of blood and a lot of drama. Definitely beautiful images and very good acting. An impressive whole that steadily builds towards a climax. We know Jonathan Rhys-Meyers from August Rush. That man gives me weak knees.

3 stars. But I may change this later.

Not bad.

Strange drama with psychological and supernatural elements.

You can safely call the film a puzzle. I also found the ending quite vague and left many questions. Including: Have Fay and Lila now become one? Or are they still separate?

Director Isabel Coixet experiments with the content, but cannot disguise the fact that the basic idea is rather silly. The more seriously it is presented (and the event is quite serious), the less effect it has. Sophie Turner has played a number of great characters in her career, but in this film she was probably not chosen for acting talent. Part of her unconvincing performance is due to the screenplay by Coixet and co-screenwriter Cathy MacPhail, who present many characters as a kind of theater figure. Personal interactions and dialogues look quite inhuman, and not a single figure becomes sympathetic for a moment. Fortunately, there is enough atmosphere and a good eye for detail and the acting of Rhys Ifans can certainly be mentioned. Ultimately, it is mainly Coixet's overly ambitious approach that works against the film, because the search for cinematic originality mainly results in trivial concept development. That does not alter the fact that the film certainly convinces with a number of horror images.
