The writing from Celine here wasn’t as deep as Past Lives, nor did I think it would’ve been, but this was an enjoyable watch nonetheless. Nothing crazy. A lot of critics had Evans as the standout performer and I would have to agree. He arguably carries it. Good on him after that Red One mess.

Dakota is someone who I think is a capable actress when given good material. I like her in stuff like this or the featured works with Guadagnino. Wasn’t particularly buying the chemistry between her and Pedro in this and there were moments where I thought she came across as wooden, through the cadence of her voice even, but it worked for someone portraying a woman who reeked of those materialistic ideals.

#ShortGang catching strays left and right. :mjcry:

The twist with Pedro was fukkin’ absurd, lol. Made me think of the TLR thread with the breh who actually went through with that leg lengthening shyt. :huhldup:

It’s NEVER that serious.

I gave it a 3.5/5. Not sure I needed a reminder on how brutal the dating market can be and the story definitely could’ve gotten nastier than it did, but the flick had a lot of charm. Celine hasn’t missed yet for me.
