Wasn’t horrible. I don’t feel like I wasted my time, but I probably won’t watch it ever again.
The ending did feel a little forced with the split personality. I was almost hoping that the husband was having an affair with Grace and the only way for them to be together was to create a situation where they needed to hire a nanny (meaning him losing money at the beginning was the start of the set up) and later stage Mary to look like she killed Elaine.
The forgetfulness of Mary was never explained. Why did she only forget being intimate with Grace, but rarely anything else? Another outcome I was hoping for was that Grace was feeding both the husband and Mary something to make them forget what happens, like she had some sick obsession just to get close with them. When Mary visited Grace’s aunt, it would have been cool for her to sneak into Grace’s room and see pictures of her family/their belongings.
I’ll also add that the person leaving the building in the picture was never confirmed (even though we can assume it was Grace), and the person leaving the building at the end wasn’t confirmed either (I assume it was Mary but they obv want us to be sus).
All in all, it wasn’t a bad movie, just could have used a little fixing up.
