The nonstop thriller to boost us into Oscar season. A Simple Favor takes the audience on a journey between the most improbable friendship between an upbeat, vlogging mother and an off-the-rails woman of mystery.
The title may say simple, but this movie is nothing but. The plot and script were superbly put together placing breadcrumbs around to connect a ball of string. There were moments of shock and awe as well as genuine character development and acting between a star-studded cast. With three main characters they had the powerful trio of Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and the new and immediately strong Henry Golding. Each play into the already strengths of the actors and didn't have to necessarily become someone new. This film is definitely not the best of the year or probably of the month, but due to its placement around some awful movies this month, it is sure to turn some heads.
