Went into this prior to reading any reviews, though I did notice the user review score was quite low while the critical review score was decent. That doesn't usually bode well for a film for me, as I usually find myself siding with the users. This was an exception. I'm surprised by the low score many of the reviewers have given this film. Someone even noted this was a bad Jordan Peele replica, but I found it far more compelling than anything Peele has done.
It takes a while for the intensity to build, but I much appreciated that what occurred was not something one would associate with science fiction but involved real people with real feelings. Throughout the film, the main character scratches at her head under her wigs, a symbol that she's not particularly comfortable with her new identity, and it all comes to fruition in the end. I did wonder why the one particular stray showed such animosity toward her husband, but I thought the story ended perfectly rather than causing me to sit staring at the screen wondering what just happened.
