Blink Twice

Some movies entertain, movies that thrill, and then there are movies like Blink Twice, movies that make you sit with a strange heaviness, as if something inside you has shifted. I watched it, expecting a gripping story, but what I didn’t expect was that one scene, one conversation, would stay with me long after the credits rolled.

Two women talking about their pain. Not in a dramatic, screaming-into-the-void kind of way, but in a quiet, exhausted way, they talk about how messed up everything is, how this place is all fucked up. And yet, the moment a man walks past them, their faces change—forced smiles, light laughter, as if nothing in the world is wrong.

That moment hit me. Hard.

Because isn’t that how the world works?

Blink Twice isn’t just a movie about power, manipulation, and survival. It’s a reflection of how the world looks at women—how they are expected to perform a role, even when they are drowning. That one scene said more about society than an entire monologue ever could. It’s in the things left unsaid, the forced smiles, the laughter that isn’t real.

Some movies leave you shaken, not because of what happens in them but because of how closely they mirror the world we live in. Blink Twice does just that. Kudos to Zoe Kravitz!!
