Frailty (2001)★ 7.0/10

What’s remarkable is that even if you’ve seen spoilers, the ending still packs a punch. The film dives deep into psychological conflict and moral ambiguity, and the sound design subtly heightens the tension. It’s unsettling in the best way, even when you know what’s coming.

The final twist comes quickly and lands hard, but the slow, meandering lead-up nearly derails the payoff. For most of the runtime, it plays like a meditation on mental illness or trauma, only to veer sharply into something else entirely. That sudden shift left me confused—was this meant to be a Christian allegory all along?
