Nefarious (2023)
6/10
It's okay
13 October 2023
The movie is decent for what it is - basically, two people talking. I thought that Sean Patrick did a great job playing Nefarious, and transitions between the two personalities were seamless. I didn't like the doctor's character too much. I thought that for someone who is a skeptic and supposedly a seasoned professional, he caved in too easily after the first mention of something personal.

The movie does a decent job navigating theology and skeptic worldviews without really taking any side, and much, apart from a few scenes, is left to interpretation.

One thing I unfortunately didn't like was the ending. I thought it was bordering on cringe-worthy: rushed and not believable at all, betraying the intellectual facade of the rest of the movie. There were also little things like them calling the priest just to send him away after about a minute, never to be seen again. What was the point? It felt like something was cut in post-production.

Overall - it was a slightly flawed but still enjoyable movie that puts forth ideas that many movies these days are afraid to explore.
