A simple Favour Friendship With A Twist

"A Simple Favour"! The film that had us all craving those stylish green blazers and questioning the depths of our own friendships, right? Set in the picturesque yet eerie backdrop of suburban Connecticut, the story unfolds like a modern-day Hitchcock thriller with a social media twist. Anna Kendrick as Stephanie is the charmingly quirky and slightly neurotic protagonist, perfectly casting her as the relatable everywoman who stumbles into a world of secrets and intrigue. Her portrayal of a single mother trying to juggle her life as a blogger while unravelling a mystery is both endearing and suspenseful.

On the flip side, we have Emily, played by the ever-so-mysterious Blake Lively. Her character is like a walking enigma wrapped in designer clothes and sipping on a perfectly stirred martini. Emily's disappearance sends shockwaves through the seemingly peaceful neighbourhood, revealing a web of deceit that's as tangled as the earbuds at the bottom of your purse.

The plot may not be the most mind-boggling twist in the book of cinematic surprises, but the devil is in the details here. The film is a delightful blend of dark comedy, suspense, and a touch of glamour that keeps you on your toes. The friendship between Stephanie and Emily is the crux of the story, and it's fascinating to see it evolve from a need for companionship to a game of cat and mouse with a side of psychological warfare.

Speaking of glamour, the fashion in this film is absolutely killer. The wardrobe is a character in its own right, with Emily's sharp suits and Stephanie's transformation from frumpy to fabulous serving major style goals. And let's not forget the stunning homes that could give any home décor blog a run for its money.

While the twist might be something you see coming from a mile away, it's the journey that makes "A Simple Favour" such a guilty pleasure. The performances are top-notch, and the chemistry between Kendrick and Lively is electric. Plus, the dark humour sprinkled throughout adds a much-needed levity to the intense subject matter. It's a stylish thriller that keeps you engaged from the moment the opening credits roll until the very end. And who can resist a little bit of small-town drama with a side of high fashion?. This film I can see was made for a young Instagram Social Media obsessed audience.
