Does Inde Navarrette deserve the Oscar? The opening sequences to Obsession (2026) are a masterclass in creating ambiguity, doubt and tension. Combining director and editor Curry Barker’s creativity and Inde Navarrette’s perfectly measured performance, the film places us in Bear’s shoes as his frustration surrounding his feelings for Nikki reach their boiling point. A similar technique was implemented in American Psycho (2000), where Willem Dafoe’s Detective Donald Kimball interrogates Patrick Bateman, shot in three different styles where his level of suspicion changes in each one, before all three are combined in the edit to create disorientation and uncertainty. Is Obsession your best film of 2026 so far? #indenavarrette #obsession #horror #movies #cinema
