From one filmmaker to another, Taylor Swift is giving one of her besties, Zoë Kravitz , the highest praise for her directorial debut, Blink Twice , out this weekend. However, Swift isn’t the only member of her inner circle endorsing the project; Kravitz’s fiance, Channing Tatum, is starring in the film, making all of it a family affair. Or at least a reunion with matching t-shirts.
As we eagerly await for her father’s scarf walk to walk the red carpet, the reviews are in and people are very much comparing Blink Twice to Get Out and Promising Young Woman . The movie follows a young woman (Naomi Ackie) who gets invited by a billionaire (Tatum) to his private island where everything is not as it seems. Here’s what the critics thought of Kravitz’s social thriller, including Professor Swift’s full review.
“Going into Blink Twice — previously and more richly titled Pussy Island — I was curious about star Channing Tatum’s heel turn. Here was Hollywood’s favorite affable himbo choosing to play a dangerous billionaire tech bro capable of entrapping young women, thus flipping his image as a sweet-natured golden retriever of a man, bolstered and refined by the Magic Mike films that positioned him as keenly interested in female pleasure. When it came to the actor turned writer-director (turned Tatum’s romantic partner in the process) Zoë Kravitz , I had enjoyed her as a red-carpet fixture with sharp cheekbones and a vibe so chill she reads as disaffected.
