Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think the spirit that tricked Mia by masquerading as her mother was the drowned spirit she let in the first time she did the summoning. Now and again, you hear underwater sfx whenever Mia was alone, and the more we saw the "mother" spirit the more drenched and bloated she became, similar to the drowned spirit.

The spirit attached to Mia actually does get weaker throughout the film. The spirit that enters her is a drowned woman, and is attached to Mia because she spent longer than 90s in her. The ghost is able to read her memories and then appear as her mother to Riley in the future to trick Mia. It was never her mother in the first place. As the movie goes on you can see that her mother's ghost gets wetter and more bloated as the spirit is less able to take a different form

The acting was so good! Mia's actress completely embodied the character, she was so vulnerable and likable even while acting out in this needy grief filled way. She was able to pull off her character going crazy so much better than 99% of other movies. And she did a great job embodying the various spirits. Also, the teens were believable. Writing believable mean teens is a shortcoming of a lot of films. The dialogue was believable and felt authentic, and their actions and motivations seemed true to their characters. Having such human and realistic characters and really grounded it and made it so much more compelling.

Itās absolutely a drug metaphor ā Mia becomes an addict, desperate to talk with her mom/chase the high. The two who had the hand in a backpack are stand ins for drug dealers. The brotherās line on the bus about the spirits leaving if you donāt use the hand is a parallel for detoxing. They also established this idea when Riley was offered a cigarette by his buddy. Thereās a lot more but typing is exhausting.

The movie was probably the best depiction of drug addiction Iāve seen. It blew my mind how cleverly executed it was. The ātalk to meā = looking at what it can do to you/ aware of the consequences. āI let you inā = allowing the drug to corrupt you knowing what is possible. āThe longer it stays in you the less powerful it isā = the high. Mia using the hand to try and solve the problems it caused = addicts numbing the pain of withdrawal/their lives falling apart. The fact that Mia was the most affected buy it due to her having the most tragic history which is the case for most addicts. Also her mother having strong references to being an addict having overdosed and spreading that affliction to her daughter. The peer pressuring of getting Riley to try the hand, the most innocent being there and him looking up to Mia making him more susceptible to peer pressure. Such a great movie.

I enjoyed that the title was so double meaning. Mia need to talk to her mom, her dad was desperate to talk to his daughter; Jade needed to talk about how Mia's grief was smothering her and her family. Jade's mom harbored resentment towards Mia's "drug" usage. Riley's the kid who needed someone to hear him as he was growing up and under pressure to do things he may not want to do. The boyfriend wouldn't talk about how he's not attracted to his girlfriend.
All these characters needed to do was to talk or be heard. Something so simple yet it was the hardest for all of them.

I think an important detail forgotten was that itās TWO spirits, not just the drowned woman. When the spirit possesses Mia, she hints that āhe likes youā to Riley, and that āheā was standing behind him. Mia sees the spirit possessing Riley near the end, which is an old man. So yes, Mia was possessed by the drowned woman who took the form of her mother (the āmotherā form kept getting wetter and more bloated as time went on) but the ghost trying to take Riley was the old man mentioned in the beginning.

The realization Mia has at the end when she realizes sheās on the other side. That hit hard. Something to definitely point out was the group she was summoned by had the other hand. They said it was out there somewhere and they were using the right hand until the end of the movie when Mia connected by extending her left hand. The sequel or prequel will be nothing short of genius.

Dumb kids making ābeing possessedā into a challenge is the realest thing Iāve seen in any movie this year.
