What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe reaction is mostly negative or mixed, with the main draw being Jessica Chastain's strong dual performance. People think the premise of a girl meeting a scary mother-double is solid, but the story and pacing are seen as a slog, dragging down the tension. While the visuals and a bit of dark humor work for some, the consensus is that it's a familiar, underwhelming horror that doesn't stick the landing.
