As someone who hasnโt read the books there was no way to know what was going on from beginning to end. The prologue and whole script lacked depth. You feel nothing for any of the characters. Made worse you canโt hear what theyโre saying with constant mumbling and crying from Paulโs mum paired with super dramatic loud music. Wish we had subtitles but wouldnโt have helped this film be any more entertaining.
My husband paused the film mid way just to Google the synopsis. If I had watched at the cinema I wouldโve so bitter about the money wasted. Donโt recommend if youโre caught up with the books.
