‘Blink Twice’ Review: Zoë Kravitz Proves She’s a Total Filmmaker in a #MeToo-Meets-‘Midsommar’ Thriller Starring a Sinister Channing Tatum

“Blink Twice” is the first feature directed by Zoë Kravitz, who also co-wrote it (with E.T. Feigenbaum), and it’s a post-#MeToo feminist party-girl nightmare thriller that’s been made with an unusual sense of intimacy. Kravitz, the veteran actor (“The Batman,” “Kimi,” “Big Little Lies”), doesn’t rely on the standard medium shot/POV pedestrian film grammar. She composes the movie out of vibrant close-ups, using each shot (a cocktail, a glance, a social-media cutaway) to tell a story, drawing us into the center of an encounter, so that we’re staring at it and experiencing it at the same time.
