Spoilers: How the movie only has 5/10 on imdb is crazy to me but it comes of no surprise because many reviews are from guys who have never understood the way that 1: girls interacted with barbies 2: the chaos of their stories and narrative And 3: that the barbies coming back into leadership is so important This movie blew my mind because the way they just knew how we played with the dolls and how we idealised them was so important. The point of multiple genres was also important and impressive as well because kids don't care about how the stories go, just that they either have a good or bad ending I loved the encorporation of feminism in the film because many of the women viewers have went through all the stages at one point and i loved how they came back into power as well. To the guys who are trying to empathise with ken: yes he was broken, but he used his brokenness in the space of a day to enlarge his ego, change power dynamics and eradicate women's rights and the way people say "well it's just how he felt" only perpetuates it. Women fought hard to be in power, they never expected the guys to base their personality around them and an ego is all it took to eradicate it. Overall incredibly important message and excellent portrayal

Ive watched this show 7 times all the way through now and it's the only show that no matter how much you watch, the better it gets. Usually shows after the 2nd or 3rd watch get boring, you know what happens but the more you watch this mindblowing masterpiece, the more you notice. Things that you didn't see every single time. Horrors in general just mainly focus on jumpscares, so much that it's become boring but this? This is psychological, it messes with you and makes you question whether the things you see in the show are actually real or not. I can't believe how beautiful this show is in general, alongside the gripping storyline and the cinematography and the way its all portrayed. It's definitely a slow burn show though, it's not something you can just stop watching and assume the ending. Even until the end you're still left wondering. It changes you as a person every single time you watch. If you're going to watch (which I highly highly recommend) then really truly commit because it is worth every second and you will need to follow along.

As someone who has dissociative identity disorder I absolutely despised this film to bits. It romanticised and stigmatised the disorder so much to the point that now everyone assumes I'm like the dude in the film or that they know everything about did just because its 'about' it. watching it made me severely uncomfortable and angry that I literally could not finish it and still refuse to watch it again. Seeing the comments that it's great and brings 'information' about D.i.D to light in these reviews only further proves my point that just because there's now a film about did, people take it as gospel and its done so much damage to the actual community. Asides from the fact that 'omg its a movie about d.i.d' all in all the movie was absolute trash and anyone who actually believes this movie is great for bringing the condition to light is an idiot :)) If you want a better show/ movie to watch about the disorder then check out Mr Robot and fight club (yes fight club is about did)

The first 3 saw movies were pretty good but by spiral you can tell they lost their vision fully. It was predictable which took away the whole shock factor that the other movies had, it didn't even show the gorey parts that the saw franchise is literally known for. For an r18 it was more for a r13 audience and really didn't have the flare the other saws were known for. There were so many factual errors or they didn't think out how the characters would react (it'll make sense if you see it). Me and 2 others knew it was bad when we couldn't just stop talking about how stupid it was and how it made absolutely no sense. Would recommend watching only to start debates or for a meme
