Beautiful film that portrays the innocenct side of childhood. Does justice to its title. Adore the simplicity

Straight up masterpiece. The acting, the dialogues, the plot twist, the small details everything was perfect.

When it comes to script this is my favourite Alfred Hitchcock movie so far. The story is so intriguing, well-written and flawless, I was hooked the entire time. It isn't rated as highly as some of Hitchcock's other films like Psycho, Vertigo etc as the script isn't original. It's based off a stage play and almost the entire story and dialogues are the same. Still I'll rate the direction as top notch work. Camera work and use of 3D was good. Even color grading was excellent for example when Margot was declared guilty the red background made it look like a scene in hell. As she was wrongly sentenced, the judge dressed in the red cloak looked like a devil. That was some great symbolism. The use of music in crunch moments was also well-executed especially in the final moments of the film.

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗵𝗼 is a visusal masterpiece. The cinematography, costumes, set design, especially 60's music is so enchanting and soothing alongside the orgasmic color grading. Anya, Matt & Thomasin dancing on stage is such a vibe. A captivating plot directed masterfully with everlasting suspense, shocking revelations and an unexpected twist which aren't revealed until the end. Rarely I have seen a horror movie that is both so glamorous and creepy together. Ellie's visions of Sandie at the Café de Paris actually gave a dream-like feeling to the viewer. Anya Taylor-Joy whichever character she plays always has this ghostliness about her so the role of Sandie ideally suited her. Some parts of the story have flaws however. 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚 Like how Ellie recovered from the poison's effect so fast is illogical. The final scene too seemed absurd. A happy ending didn't make much sense. Ellie nearly murdered Jacosta in a public library, hallucinated about murders, claimed a cop to be a killer. Realistically she would be sent to a mental institution after all that. And how did John manage to survive and recover so quickly after being stabbed and almost suffocated in a house set on fire. Only the writing of the story is somewhat questionable at times, but full marks to visuals, background score, entertainment factor, choice of cast and direction.
