Glass concludes the trilogy started by Unbreakable and continued with Split. Here, the main characters of the first two films are arrested and kept in the same psychiatric hospital, where an expert attempts to convince them that they're delusional, not extraordinary. But when things take an unexpected turn, everyone will have to re-evaluate their beliefs.
Glass is a good film- maybe a great one. The acting is excellent, but what sells this is the message. Or, messages- there are many in the film. It looks at our brokenness and how to truly heal it, contemplates whether we are (or can be) truly special, discusses the power of belief, and dwells on the role of the supernatural in the natural world. As an added bonus, there's much discussion on comic books, their traits, and how they tie to the real world. It's not a perfect film- with many messages, there's much to contemplate, and perhaps each could be more thoroughly explored. But it's good, has the suspense and twists you'd expect in a Shyamalan film, and well worth your time. Watch the first two, though, before seeing this.
Rating: A
