The first stinker in my Lea Seydoux binge
There is a blueprint for this to actually be very compelling but it is completely destroyed by absolutely no character development at all. It is impossible to relate or care or feel any stakes for the characters actions at all. Gary and Karole have more sex than dialogue. Like maybe flesh out this affair a little more to give the audience something to latch on to but nah we’ll just instantly cut from a tense car ride to sex. It’s impossible to care about the pregnancy and all the emotions that could’ve come out from it.
