This twist reminds me of Get Out’s twist in a lot of ways: there’s that one “good” character that we trust even though they’re connected to the villains, only to be proven wrong and feel utterly betrayed (just like the main character). It serves to reinforce the movie’s theme about even “nice guys” often being complicit in sexual assault, if not actively perpetrating it, and men excusing each other’s behavior while failing to take accountability for their own role in enabling it (Get Out says something similar about even “progressive” white people being complicit in racism, or even actively participating in violence against Black people). The fact that both twists are revealed in a single moment (despite perhaps earlier signs that we ignored) just makes them even more of a gut punch…and hopefully, causes us to reexamine our own tendency to make excuses for people like Ryan.
