One of the biggest highlights of the film was James McAvoy’s performance, where he switched between multiple personalities in single scenes without camera cuts. Many fans considered his acting one of the most difficult performances in modern psychological thrillers. Director M. Night Shyamalan financed the movie himself, giving him complete creative freedom without major studio interference. The film also continued the unique grounded-superhero style introduced in Unbreakable, avoiding flashy costumes and giant CGI battles common in traditional superhero movies.
Another interesting detail is that the movie was secretly planned years before Split released. Most viewers were shocked when Split ended with a surprise connection to Unbreakable, setting up Glass as the trilogy finale. The movie also contains several visual references to comic-book panels through camera framing, colors, and reflections.

Night Shyamalan intentionally used glass imagery throughout the film — mirrors, reflections, broken windows, and transparent walls — to symbolize fragile minds and hidden truths.
