obsession is proof that hollywood isn't dead yet, and that with new directors, new actors, and new ideas, the film industry can still survive. unlike modern thrillers, which are predictable and lack care, this movie managed to keep me glued to the screen and thinking for hours on end. i wouldn't even know what to talk about first. a simple and "predictable" story progression allows the viewer to focus on fundamental aspects, like the psychology behind the characters. the use of light and shadow, sound and silence, lets you completely immerse yourself in the film and experience the emotions of bear and, above all, nikki from the very first second to the last. the anxiety, restlessness, and fear don't come from monsters, blood, or unexpected jump scares, but rather from the reality of it all. it is a perfect depiction of human selfishness and a man's desire for possession over the person he claims to "love." an oscar-worthy performance by inde navarrette—hollywood NEEDED new faces and new actors. she prepared so much for this role and truly understood nikki's character, delivering the best performance of 2026 and one of the best in recent years. i believe she deserves all the recognition she’s been getting lately. scenes like “i can be nikki,” the diner scene, and the final part of the film make it memorable and one of the most praised modern thrillers. bear doesn't love nikki; bear wants to possess nikki. bear's final choice, suicide, only ends his own suffering. by breaking the curse, he leaves an innocent nikki—a victim of his selfishness and obsession—all alone in front of the lifeless bodies of her friends. he "just wanted to be loved" and even has the nerve to say it when the inner nikki, who still exists, begs him in her sleep to kill her. a woman with a dream is destroyed by a man's possessive desire. so raw, so real.

best 2025 anime movie no debate.

breathtaking acting, the performances by Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore are among the best in cinema in the last years. i really enjoyed this film and noticed a lot of inspiration drawn from Cronenberg and Lynch, creating a raw, surreal body horror with real depth behind it. I LOVED the ending (even though I was almost about to throw up), and I find it crazy how some people didn't like the movie specifically because of that scene, that in my opinion is the most meaningful part of the entire film. and i’m in love with Margaret
