Summary Every once in a while, a directorial feature debut comes along and thoroughly impresses me. Blink Twice, Zoë Kravitz’s first directorial feature — which she co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum — doesn’t just captivate, it demands attention. And from start to finish it held it; not an easy feat. The psychological thriller is clever, sharp, and intoxicating, even in its eeriest moments.
The film is also a reminder of how a well-written and nicely paced story can be executed in only an hour and 42 minutes. Kravitz doesn’t linger longer than necessary, and the largely single-location setting never grows tired because there’s always something new for Frida to discover. Beyond the aesthetics and technical elements, Blink Twice has deeply explored themes — including trauma — that’ll reverberate.
It makes me excited for whatever Kravitz does next, as she’s proven herself an impeccable director and storyteller with depth and a sharp eye for detail.
