It’s a bit hard to describe but I felt like both had moments of spiraling confusion with the protagonist watching their worlds fall apart around them that I found really captivating.
I’m trying to think of other examples but The Fall and The Father are ones that came to mind. They are both fantastic films I’d highly recommend.
[email protected] mentioned mother! (2017) which was the other example that was on the tip of my tongue.
Do you think Shutter Island relies heavily on a twist? I feel like I’ve heard how the movie ends
Yeah unquestionably it does. It certainly doesn’t build in the same way The Father does for instance, but I think on a rewatch (and therefore knowing the twist) it becomes more about a gradual unravelling of Leo’s perceptions.
