If “she’s going to be ok” scene was a whole movie
שני הכוכבים הם נטו על זה שלא היה גבר אחד כל הסרט

She goes back to her cheating husband who is still sleeping with his mistress during their separation. No growth & revolves far too much around men & how to “keep them”.

whole movie is about men and why they’re justifying cheating ? It deserves nothing but I love that there isn't even one man ⭐️ and women are gorgeous here ⭐️
