So disappointed. The book was amazing and I never expect the film to be as good due to time constraints, compressing the story down. But the direction, script, nazi tropes and characature vibe of most characters was unforgivable. I also was disappointed the director chose to mature the key cast which diminished their innocence. I got halfway through episode 2 and after much groaning abandoned the show.

Absolute trash. Too long, flat storyline. Of all the ways to tackle women aging a horror flick is not the way.

Brilliant parallel of what we are going through with covid. Inept governing, corporate greed and self serving needs told in a tight well crafted manner. Full stars! Brilliant!

I've read the book and the film is a literal, uninspired word for word visualization - no added nuance of character or story. I found the direction to be lacking and felt like the soundtrack tried to make up for flat scenes and inspired characters. Critic Hanna Flint put it best... "French Exit boasts an assured cast but drab direction and lazy writing ensure the characters are never as eccentric, cutting or interesting as the film's tinkling score would have you believe."
