Our take on Glass

M. Night Shyamalan's 2019 thriller brings three figures into collision. Former security guard David Dunn, gifted with supernatural abilities, uses them to hunt Kevin Wendell Crumb, a deeply disturbed man who houses twenty-four distinct personalities. Circling both is Elijah Price, a shadowy orchestrator whose secrets prove critical to each man's story. Working in drama, science fiction, and suspense at once, Shyamalan treats these grounded, damaged people less like conventional superheroes than like case studies, building toward the kind of reframing twist that defines his work. It suits viewers who enjoy slow-burn, idea-driven genre films and don't mind a more talky, restrained approach to powers over large-scale spectacle.
