Cat’s Point of View:
This October has been cram-packed with movies I’ve wanted to see. There were so many that I had a really hard time narrowing down to my personal Top 20 list for the monthly article. There were quite a few that looked great that just couldn’t make the cut. Significant Other was one of them. (It did land as #17 on Selina’s list.)
I will admit that once the big reveal happened, some
elements were slightly predictable. I didn’t mind that, however. I was down for
the premise. In fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing a sequel or series to follow up
and show what happened next. I just wish it didn’t take quite so long to get to
the ‘good part.’ Even so, I think Significant
Other will stick with me for a while due to the combo of the twist and its
exploration of emotional trauma.
If you have a subscription to Paramount+, Significant Other might be an
interesting pick for a night in. It’s not the sort of flick, though, that I’d
encourage anyone to subscribe over. (There are quite a few titles that are
worth it, but that’s neither here nor there for the purposes of this article.)
