Stellar acting but the story quickly dissolves into a charade of plot twists for the sake of twists and furthering what is left of the story. The movie doesn't feel like it was trying to say anything and many of the scenes and plot points were just wholly exaggerated to the point where I could no longer suspend my disbelief. Started off quite promising. Disappointed it went down the cheap route.

The exchange of dialogue between the two characters at the beginning was riveting and had great potential to bring insight into important topics that were mentioned during this first act. However, by the end, I was left jaded with the constant scenes of conflict between them, each one with less to say than the one prior. I also love that they delved into the rarely-discussed issues of self-sabotage and the relationship between an artist and their muse, but the depth (or lack thereof) in which these topics and the characters were analysed and brought to life did not justify the 1h 40m running time.
