'Paper & Glue' Review: JR Delivers a Superfluous 'Faces Places' Companion Piece 'Simple as Water' Review: Syrian Refugees in Limbo, From Turkey to Pennsylvania 'Do Not Hesitate' Review: Lean, Laser-Focused Loss-of-Innocence War Drama Okita, along with screenwriters Adam Yorke and Tommy Gushue, has a knack for misdirection that prevents the film from ever feeling predictable. There is, of course, but it probably isn’t what you’re expecting. Sophie insists it was just a tip from her latest housesitting gig and that she’s simply on her way to a new one, but it still feels like something’s amiss. Neither does her mother (Natalie Brown), for that matter: She catches her twentysomething daughter just before she’s made it out the door, telling the would-be escapee she’s “seen the deposits” and asking whether the money came from OnlyFans or a sugar daddy.
Sophie (Davenport) is sneaking out of the house, and we don’t know why.
It’s rare that the first week of the year brings a notable performance, but Skyler Davenport’s lead turn in director Randall Okita’s no-nonsense thriller (which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival last summer) will be worth remembering well after the January doldrums have passed. Looks like 2022 is off to a promising start, courtesy of “ See for Me,” a home-invasion drama in which the young woman tasked with defending said home - and, just as importantly, the cat who lives there - is blind.
