This is what I wanted out of the movie Swan Song, so I'm on board. Plus I like Stearns other work.

The Art of Self-defense was fantastic. I definitely need to see this one.

I hope it's doesn't end on it being unclear as to which one wins.

Saw the Art of Self Defense in theaters. It was great. I need to revisit that movie if I can find it on a streaming service

It's on Hulu and Kanopy

I forgot it was a movie and just thought “The Art of Self Defense” written on the poster was this movie’s tag line. I even chuckled to myself thinking it was an amusing tag line considering the trailer I just watched.

Use JustWatch .com or the app. You can search for a specific movie. You can also indicate your current services, touch "new" and it will list newly added movies/shows. While not 100% accurate, it's still very handy. I probably use it daily.

I had seen the trailer for this in theatres, but it never seemed to actually get any screenings. It looks like it will be on AMC+ starting May 20.

It played here for a week. Thought it was really good.

It played in the LA area, but was literally gone in a week or so.

I don’t know if I liked this because it’s good or because it had double the dose of Gillan. Probably both.

It’s interesting to see the seeds of a concept similar to another movie (the previously mentioned Swan Song) and how they go in completely different directions.

Watch this for Karen. The script is a bit clunky especially around her diagnosis and miraculous recovery. Oh, and the "graphic nudity" in the R rating is not Karen

Dan

Enjoyed this. Not as much as Stearns' previous film, but this was still entertaining. I don't know why, but I actually expected

I'll probably watch this again some day.

Wife and I watched this last night and I found it pretty frustrating.

The choice to have this inhuman dialogue delivered in the most stilted manner possible never clicked for me and made to hard to feel for Sarah and her double. They come off as completely unrelatable psychopaths at best and ridiculously stereotypical depictions of someone with autism at worst. Like Data from Star Trek comes off as a more naturalistic performance.

I think the ending should have been changed, too.


I enjoyed The Art of Self Defense, but the same style just doesn't jibe as well here.

I saw this awhile back and it was not bad

Why So Blu?

I thought it was cool that they filmed this in Finland.
