Moviegoers are saying
"Affection" divides audiences with its ambitious "50 First Dates" meets psychological thriller concept, anchored by Jessica Rothe's physically committed performance. While some praise it as an innovative mind-bender with solid direction from debut filmmaker BT Meza, most find it a repetitive slog that stretches 90 minutes into what feels like an eternity.

    Ellie had 3 seizures in a row so I paused the movie to let her catch her breath. I resumed and bro immediately starts choking her. 💀

    Amazing how 90-minutes can feel like 3 hours when a movie isn’t working for you.. Affection was a slog to get through, nothing painfully bad, but my friends and I were sighing in relief when it was finally over. It's just repetitive and lacking a proper hook to keep you…

    8.4/8.5 out of 10 “I’m just this thing you created.” I went into this one as blind as possible (I even thought this was a foreign film screener), but wow was I blown away by this innovative “50 First Dates” style mind bending thriller, if you will. Jessica Rothe, Joseph…

    It’s VERYYYYY extremely predictable early on in the movie. Like the minute you see the man, who looks like a chud, it clicks and you’re just like aaaa so this is going to be *almost like a rip off of Companion. Just save your time and watch Companion, please.

    Affection

    Black Mirror meets Pet Sematary. Bites off more than it can chew thematically, but it is good to see Jessica Rothe back in horror movies. We just need Rothe to collab with Samara Weaving.
