Hey, I just finished that new psychological thriller where the lead keeps swapping identities—did you catch how the director uses shadows to hide the real motive behind each disguise?

I did notice that shadow play – it’s a clever nod to the unreliable narrator trope, but sometimes it feels like a visual crutch. The disguises were cool, but the deeper motive was buried so deep in darkness that I had to squint to see it at all. I’d love to see a cleaner link between the lighting and the character arcs next time.

Sounds like you’re right on the point—sometimes the shadows feel more like a trick than a clue. Next time, I’d love to see the light actually pull the characters out of the dark and into their real selves. Keep your eyes peeled, though; there’s usually a trick up the sleeve no matter what.
