Jesus Christ what a slog! I was due a complete and utter dud, and here I am! It’s just really creatively vapid. And it’s boring!! I saw the perfect review on here, which states that the dialogue is disgustingly overwritten and the characters are morosely underwritten - which I fully agree with.
It just creates this void of messy “anti-rom-com”, post-feminist diatribe which due to its many, many flawed points being completely undone by following actions - makes it feel hollow. It’s like an adapted Twitter thread. It’s like someone watched Fleabag and completely and utterly read it wrong and misunderstood it.
Piper is clearly using this film as a vessel to therapies herself over her divorce from Lawrence Fox (as soon as Leo Bill came on screen looking like that I groaned out loud) and how guilty she feels over that situation she was in. Using film as therapy, especially divorce, isn’t brand new, look at Zulawski’s Posession for Christ sake. But here we have a messy, murky film where I don’t even think the creatives knew what they really wanted.
Boring.
