Split only being rated at 73% by Rotten Tomatoes and 7.5/10 by IMDB is absolutely insane to me seeing as it deserves even beyond a 100% rating. This movie deserves every honorable movie award in existence…it is incredible! The dedicated directors and devoted cast made this movie one to remember. ...

When the words “vegetarian” and “vegan” cross your mind, you instantly think of weird, animal-loving hippies who worship at the altar of PETA and tell everyone that meat is murder.
