ENDLESSSMEDIA

What a pile of steaming hot garbage. If i had to describe this movie in one word, it would be "unmotivated." The character progression is non existent. They try to build an interesting backstory in a frail attempt to get you to care about and identify with the main character lily, but they fail tragically. The main source of Lily's trauma comes from her watching her dad physically and verbally abuse her mother. The problem is that us as the audience is never informed or even clued into WHY he acts the way he does towards her, her mother, and eventually her boyfriend at the time atlas. So the only information we have is quick cuts to her dad beating the living DAYLIGHTS (like damn💀) out of the MC's mother and her watching. Then she meets Ryle. (what kind of name is that?) She's sitting on a random Boston rooftop AT NIGHT, BY HERSELF. A man violently bursts through the door, angrily kicks a chair and yells out of anger. Does the MC become afraid as any woman alone at night would? Does she become concerned for her safety in the slightest? NOPE! She starts to converse with him! Do I remember the conversation? NOPE! Why? Because the dialogue in this movie is so SKULL NUMBING that it all blends together. I guess they're going for the "the main characters are hot so as long as we get close ups of them looking attractive, it doesn't really matter what they say!" The Ryle guy IMMEDIATELY objectifies her letting her know that he's only interested in her for sex and that she would be another woman to add to his laundry list of escapades. Does she use contextual evidence to think "maybe this guy is actually a horrible person and i should leave?" NOPE! I genuinely don't even have the energy to talk about how bad this movie was. If you're looking to waste your time and money? This is the movie to watch. It's got a lazy plot that a 4th grader could predict, the characters have no depth, personality or substance. To top it all off? THE PACING IS AWFUL. The movie feels so fast that you can't even grip the horrid plot that's unfolding. Yet, the movie is somehow two hours long but in reality feels like six. My wife and I recently watched Inside Out 2. That movie genuinely had me involved in the story and excited to see the outcome of the introduced characters even though I could identify the plot a mile away. An animated children's movie had me more captivated than a "complex romantic drama." Inflation is real. The $30 you would spend on a movie ticket to watch this garbage could be spent on a tank of gas. Then you could use that gas to drive home depot and look at plumbing equipment. It would be more entertaining.
