Ratings and reviews

I watched the whole thing. Tons of unneeded scenes that just make the film seem like it's a test of the viewers patience. It's like they had a runtime as a goal and added scenes to fluff out the beginning of the film. It's cheap and feels like theirs was two maybe three pages of dialog in the script, and the rest is just directors notes on how to film people wondering around on the streets. The film doesn't pick up until it has thirty or so minutes left. And still it just makes me feel like the artistic thought put into it isn't poetic. Instead, it's what seems likely and vague that will also seem out of place.

As soon as I saw the steering wheel on the wrong side I knew I made a mistake..I think it's irish. The same plot less boredom as a British flick. I was desperate for something to watch and jumped at this without reading the reviews. I'm going to just sit and think up my own movie in my head, it'll be much better.

If you ever wanted to see Scarlett Johansson fully naked, this would be the movie for you. It's quite literally the only takeaway I have from this dull, slow, frankly boring movie. Little to nothing happens and when it does, it makes no sense. Interesting visuals do not make a movie. The plot is absurd, what little plot there is, and the whole thing is a mess. Could not recommend to anybody unless you wanna see Scarlett's everything.
