How lost can she be?

I love mystery films, TV shows and games. Who killed Dr. Black? I think it was Reverend Green with the Dagger in the Kitchen?

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick’s A Simple Favor is the mystery film I have been waiting for all my life. The intriguing story and characters caught my attention from the moment I saw the first scene and that already says a lot.

The movie is unlike anything I have seen in cinema over the last few years. It is not a major blockbuster, but it is also not a cult indi film. It is something of its own and it gives off various powerful messages.

Director, Paul Feig and writer, Jessica Sharzar knew exactly how to translate the story to the big screen from the book it is based upon. The plot twists and the pefomances of Blake and Anna is something I will never forget.

The movie tells the story of a mommy vlogger, Stephanie (Anna) who seeks to uncover the truth behind her disappearance of her best friend, Emily, a rich PR director (Blake). During her investigations uncovers things she never expected.

My Verdict

The movie is a much watch for all audiences who are old enough to watch it. Like I said it sends out strong messages that make for excellent story telling. It is however not without flaws, but they can easily be ignored. So if you are planning a ladies night or a night of suspense, then this is definitely the movie you should go see.

Rating: 8.5/10 – Love It!
