Wow this is horribly sexist and western-centric oh my god I can’t believe that this happened with the people who were involved in this.
The cinematography is trash, the editing is uncomfortable, the makeup, hairstyling, and costuming are all frustrating and hard to look at, and it just all feels so sloppily put together.
It feels like everything is somehow second-rate and a first draft, like they didn’t question any of their decisions during the writing and directing process but couldn’t get any of their first choices for anything that required someone else’s approval, so it all comes together feeling so full of itself and yet uninspired.
And yes, exactly what a lot of other people have said is true: it’s pretentious as shit and never stops to check and make sure that anyone gives a shit about what’s happening. There’s a quick joke about it early, but it’s a movie with a bad framing device, unlikeable characters, and no stakes or narrative drive.
It’s bad enough that all of this is literally being written as I’m watching the movie and I’ve still got about half an hour left. If anything changes I’ll modify this review or add a note, but I don’t expect that in the slightest.
P.S. - I just finished it. It got more pretentious and I discovered that the music sucks too.
