Ellie Carter has never met the man who calls himself her husband, doesn't recognize the girl who calls her mother, and can't remember the life she is told is her own. Afflicted by violent seizures that reset her memory without warning, she is trapped in a cyclical nightmare, struggling to uncover the horrifying truth of her existence--before she forgets it all over again.

Meza did a fantastic job with his first outing, and I can’t wait to see how he builds from here.

[The early twist] is a premise that the movie lives or dies by, but an audience will be primed for the journey through it as long as the magnetic Rothe is leading the way.

However conflicted my feelings about Affection are, I am certain that it was not as good as I'd hoped it would be.

Yet while Affection doesn’t necessarily tread new ground in either body horror or metaphors about gaslighting, it does explore them in a way that feels uniquely nasty.

Writer-director BT Meza does a serviceable job with the wanderings in the night and the foreshadowing and intimations of violence.

While the film feels slightly drawn out, Jessica Rothe's dedication to the role, particularly its physical demands, are impressive

I liked that it told a good story without hitting hard on the gore. The opening setup definitely kept you guessing. We had questions after the movie was over because it didn't try to explain everything which was great. The end was satisfying. Good story and the scenes looked great. Worth seeing! I think it is an easy one to rewatch which I rarely feel with movies these days.
