New Release Review - "Blink Twice"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2024-08-30

Ever since Get Out we've received a slew of movies in which a protagonist who is neither wealthy, white nor male finds themselves surrounded by people who are either wealthy, white, male or some combination thereof.
