I liked the battle of the minds between Rey and Kylo. I thought that scene was very well done.

The Jedi mind trick scene was not successful with me, because it took me out of the film to think to myself, “wait? how does she know that? she doesn’t know that…”

It felt like Rey was reaching into the audience and using our film knowledge from previous movies to teach herself something she otherwise didn’t know and had no way of knowing. I’m sure they will retcon this in the next film and say she was trained as a little girl and had her memory erased, but that’s just so lazy that I find it offensive.
