Flicks, Aaron Yap

After a prolonged bout in director jail, M. Night Shyamalan may never restore his career to the mainstream respectability once afforded by the success of his earlier work such as The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable. With his previous film, the endearingly daft found-footage flick The Visit, and now the gloriously demented Split, he’s managed to rejig our expectations somewhat, comfortably embracing his position as solid craftsman of schlocky, modestly-budgeted genre pictures – nothing more, nothing less.

Variety

A welcome return to form from 'The Sixth Sense' director M. Night Shyamalan, whose unhinged new mind-bender is a worthy extension of his early work.

Total Film

This is a Shyamalan movie through and through. And it's his best in some time, thanks to a magnetic McAvoy.

Time Out

There's a tiny shiver of something in the final few seconds that doesn't exactly change what we've watched so much as say, "I'm still M. Night Shyamalan, and I'm still crazy!" He's become his own twist ending.

The Guardian

Split really is a movie for all sorts of personalities.

Stuff

M Night Shyamalan returns to his own twisted cinematic universe with this terrifically, tension-filled thriller.

New Zealand Herald

If you thought the "I see dead people" reveal was the most powerful in his arsenal, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Los Angeles Times

"Split" doesn't just revive Shyamalan's career; it resurrects his brand.

Hollywood Reporter

The director ties themes together at the end with more finesse than usual, letting a couple of meaningful visuals speak for themselves where he might have thrown in a line or two of explanatory dialogue.

Empire Magazine

Shyamalan papers over plot-holes with dry black humour and well-judged suspense, and - as always - holds back some surprises.
