Life flows happily on the private island of tycoon Slater King (Channing Tatum); during the day we laze by the pool, in the evening we have a sumptuous dinner and at night we have fun thanks to the drugs provided by Vic (Christian Slater), one of Slater's friends who animates the company. To Frida (Naomi Ackie) and her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) feels like living a dream; they, who were just two humble waitresses who served at the party given by Slater, managed to be invited right into that dream place among champagne, raspberries, and sumptuous dresses. Of course, upon arrival everyone had to hand over their cell phones to Stacy ( Geena Davis), Slater's assistant, but ultimately it will just be the umpteenth oddity of a multi-billionaire who is still suffering the consequences of an undefined scandal. Now, it is obvious to anyone who knows a little about cinema, that the The golden patina of this daydream actually hides a nightmare from which it will be difficult to wake up and even more difficult to escape. Blink Twice fully fits into the revenge movie genre, the rules of which it scrupulously respects. The viewer knows very well what to expect and the game rather lies in waiting and trying to find out what is really happening. From this point of view, Zoë Kravitz, in her first film as director, is very good and appears perfectly capable of managing the timing of a similar film. The absurd thing is that, for much of its duration, little or nothing happens in Blink Twice. The days follow one another exactly the same; swimming pool, dinner, drugs, wild nights of fun and so on with minimal nuances. It is the details that slowly undermine the surface of this fairy island (impossible not to think of Kravitz's autobiography who is the daughter of that Lenny over there ) causing increasingly larger cracks to appear. The first to suspect that there

I was genuinely delighted by "Blink Twice"—it turned out to be one of the most entertaining films I've seen this year! Zoë Kravitz's directorial debut is impressive, especially considering the stellar cast she assembled. Naomi Ackie truly stole the show with her captivating performance. It's hard to believe this is Kravitz's first film; she clearly learned a lot about her from her time about her as an actress. The way she blends psychological thriller elements with humor reminded me of early Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino—such a unique mix! I loved how the pacing kept me on the edge of my seat, even though the ending felt a bit rushed and left me with some questions. The minimalist soundtrack really added to the atmosphere, and the sound editing and cinematography were top-notch. Overall, "Blink Twice" was a wild ride filled with unexpected twists. I'm excited to see where Kravitz goes next as a director and screenwriter—I hope she continues to surprise us with more original films like this one!

Directorial debut for Zoe Kravitz who directs a thriller that also mixes ironic-grotesque elements and which also veers, at times, towards horror such as splatter scenes, always appreciated, even unexpected for the type of film. The director wants to talk about different aspects, undoubtedly of feminism, of the commodification of women but also of a certain capitalism, of how the great CEOs of companies, therefore the upper middle class, feel like untouchable divinities. Kravitz's staging is very good and remarkable for a the first work as well as its technique, the camera movements, the long shots, which are not ends in themselves but rather fuel the tension or in any case help to construct the sequences based on their theme. Interesting how the director insists a lot about details, about framing objects. This is a clear reference to commodification, to how women, in certain environments, are seen as objects but also as men now give importance to "objectification" itself, so much so that the characters are unable to detach themselves from such objects as the cigarette electronics for Slather King, the knife, the lighter and it goes without saying that these objects will be protagonists of the final carnage, overturning and therefore playing with the meaning of the objects themselves which refer to the commodity, to capitalism and to the woman-object who, however, using these tools reverses the roles. The film also focuses on mystery, the protagonist Frida together with her friend Sarah agreeing to go to the island owned by Slather King, a super tycoon who however has had problems with drugs, with women and tries to rehabilitate the his name through foundations and charities, to participate in his parties and live this alleged "great" experience. Through shots, the cutting of these, it becomes clear that something is wrong, grotesque moments abound, the characters begin to take drugs, they have strange marks like nails perpetually
