Review of "The In Between"

Two lives appear to be hanging in the balance as The In Between opens in the aftermath of a devastating vehicle accident. We receive responses in a matter of minutes: the boy has regrettably passed away, while the daughter has survived (despite suffering a ruptured heart from the trauma). What took place here? Time for a flashback to 182 days ago, when Tessa (Joey King), a photographer and ardent movie fan, and Skylar (Kyle Allen), a rowing jock and bona fide darling, had the greatest planned first date ever—alone at a deserted movie theater. Skylar steps in to save Tessa when the projectionist shows a foreign movie without subtitles by offering to sit next to her and translate the movie. He actually speaks multiple languages well, and his initial impression on Tessa's impressionable young mind is quite darn good.

For a portion of the plot, it is obvious what happens next, but the writers of The In Between went one step further by centering the action on Tessa's current-day efforts to cope with Skylar's terrible, premature death. Tessa can detect that Skylar may be lingering in some way if she hears her name, hears a familiar ringtone, or feels a presence by her side. She feels guilty for not making a formal declaration of love, and if a local medium named Doris is to be believed, Skylar may still be clinging to the earth. Doris claims that he is in between and could go for good in a few weeks at most.

Even as the film informs its audience about the particulars of Skylar and Tessa's special relationship, this adds a ticking clock effect that comes closer to its inevitable conclusion. In life, Skylar's steadfast conviction that "love never dies" sounded too fantastic to be true, but in the afterlife, it might be everything. In addition to helping Skylar deal with his physical loss, Tessa scrambles to come up with a way to connect with him or assist him in moving on. I have to be honest and say that this movie made me cry. I felt bad for Skylar in especially since it made him want for a life that will never be his. They have plans to go to Paris together, start a new school together, and keep their romance strong at all costs. The man upstairs, however, had other ideas.

It should go without saying that I admire these two lead actors. Joey King has excelled in a variety of endeavors, but her work in the movies The Kissing Booth and The Conjuring is among her best. With his scene-stealing performance in West Side Story and his semi-lead part in American Horror Story: Apocalypse, Kyle Allen, on the other hand, left a lasting impression. Two outstanding individuals do not, however, guarantee greatness in the chemistry department. Thankfully, The Chumscrubber director Arie Posin is able to tap into a unique and tactile undercurrent of naiveté and young love. Palpable romantic fireworks are a tricky thing to do just right.

At first glance, The In Between's two-hour running duration could appear excessive. However, it never seems as though time is being wasted. Each flashback scene gives our protagonists a little bit more depth, and even the eventual portrayal of the disaster is essential to the plot's conclusion. Even though I already adored the song, "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS has now been added to my permanent playlist. The In Between might have easily been another forgettable love story, but instead, this supernatural romance is one that a new generation will obsess over for a very long time.
