The CinePearl Take

Weaver brings a razor‑sharp intelligence to Dr. Hudson, turning a textbook psychiatrist into a compelling heroine. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing the dread of each new murder to linger, though the third act veers into predictability. At its core, Copycat is a study of obsession—both the killer’s and the investigators’—that keeps the audience guessing until the final reveal.
