The story of a young woman who takes an epic journey to claim her own darkness and sexuality so she can stop putting it into the hands of her abusive lover. When Inanna, a young actress, working as a stripper, becomes obsessed with a mask maker, she sacrifices parts of herself and her life, piece by piece, in order to win his love. At the same time she enters a mythic journey in the theater. One that forces her to face the many abuses endured by women around that world and that blurs her performance, her dreams and her real life and results in a provocative and powerful confrontation that frees her. -- from official website

Very interesting indeed. One question arouse, why people are suddenly fascinated by splitted identities. May be the pop culture has the answer. A few successful of recent 10y movies have something to do with identity disorder. Movie split for example.
May be everything is true. We have to take a deeper look into the issue.
I would rather have 1 quality movie made for $10,000,000 than 10 crappy movies made for a million. Movies are more expensive to make than people realize. For $10,000,000, you're not paying for much, if anything, for VFX. Case study: Get Out's budget was $6 million, not including marketing. That includes a single non-practical special effect (the sinking scene). All the actors worked for minimum wages [edit: movie wages]. The movie was limited to 3-4 physical locations. Split had a budget of between $6-9 million, and that movie takes place in two locations.
That's not true, but why let the facts get in the way?
6/10 highest-grossing movies last year were not comic book movies: Dunkirk - Original property Fast & Furious 8 - non-comic franchise based on original property Despicable Me - non-comic franchise based on original property It - remake Beauty and the Beast - remake Get Out - original property Star Wars Episode 8 - non-comic franchise based on original property
The most profitable movie of 2017, Get Out, was an original franchise. This follows on the heels of 2016s most profitable movie, Split, a sequel to an original property (The Sixth Sense/Unbreakable universe).
Your friend is wrong, there are persons who are delusional to the point of losing grip with their own bounds of personality, but of course Hollywood creates a dramatic picture of them all.
SPLIT was a fantastic movie in any case! :p
