I had no idea this movie existed until I stumbled across it on Apple TV. The cast looked incredible and I immediately had to turn it on. I had no idea of the plot or genre, but I was invested in checking out the movie. It was good, but not too special. It is well acted and there are various points in the script that was engaging, but I couldn't help but feel it moved too slow. It felt like a knock-off "Gone Girl" (I say that lovingly, as I love "Gone Girl"). In the end, I ultimately think it ended a smidge messy.
Further point- I watched this having no idea it was A24, and many aspects suddenly make way more sense in how various aspects of the story are told to the audience. Not my favorite A24, but as I think with many of their movies, they will hit a specific type of viewer that will really love it.
Rating: 2.5/5 - 7/10 - Worth Watching
This movie was a trip! It had me guessing the entire way through. I wasn’t too much of a fan how they did each of the character backgrounds but I get how it played into the overall story. The final act was a good one and had me saying, hell yeah!
I was really enjoying this until the final act. Julianne Moore is fantastic throughout this entire film, and I thought all of the characters worked well on-screen together in the various dynamics. I thought that all of the cons were pretty predictable, yet I was still interested and entertained. However, that changed in the final act, and I felt that the final act started to go a bit overboard with the whole thing, and the final con was simply too much and lacked believability.
Still, I enjoyed the film and would recommend it.
