FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/blink-twice-review-zoe-kravitzs-directorial-debut-delivers-a-thought-provoking-exploration-of-power-and-trauma/

"Blink Twice marks a promising debut for Zoë Kravitz as a filmmaker, demonstrating that her personal creativity and vision aren't confined to the side of the camera she works on.

Despite some shortcomings in tone management, the compelling narrative, supported by memorable performances from Ackie, Tatum, and Arjona, and an immersive, unsettling atmosphere, make this psychological thriller an engaging, cathartic experience. Kravitz tackles relevant, complex contemporary themes, offering a thought-provoking reflection on power, trauma, forgiveness, and forgetting.

Above all, this debut will leave many viewers eager to see what Kravitz brings to the world of cinema in the near future."
