“Come Play”: Creepy Concept, Lackluster Story
"Come Play" was entertaining and had some great ideas about how to scare children away from playing with facial recognition settings.

Inès was found innocent in the accident that caused the death of Raphaël at the age of 12 years, 7 months, and 11 days. Today, Inès' son, Théo, is that age. And she is convinced that Lucie, Raphaël's mother, will avenge his death. Intuition or paranoia? To protect Théo, she hides him in the forest and then confronts the mother of his victim.

An unlikely friendship changes the hearts of men, and helps a young boy come into his own.
Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.
The fun tricks used in the production design and lighting read extremely well on-screen but hardly fulfill their purpose of trying to inject glamour into a lack-luster story with nothing to say.
Desi’s “straight man” to Lucy’s playful exuberance subverted people’s expectations of what a Latino man could be and added respect and nuance to the way onscreen marriages between men and women were portrayed.
