Moviegoers are saying
"Affection" presents an ambitious mind-bending thriller that divides audiences with its "50 First Dates meets psychological horror" concept, featuring Jessica Rothe in a repetitive narrative that either captivates as an innovative experience or frustrates as a confusing slog. While some praise its cinematic shots and directorial debut from BT Meza, most viewers found the 90-minute runtime feeling like an eternity due to pacing issues and seizure-inducing repetitive sequences.

    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…

    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.
