I've loved Duvernay's previous work, but this really disappointed me; with a bad script and poor casting decisions it was ultimately a completely boring, unengaging film.
It was basically a cheap 90s TV movie, only that 90s TV movies are better and don't cost 100 million to make.
And maybe have leads with a little more charisma than a piece of toast.
The only movie I liked less this year (and I still have to see a bunch of stuff) was Crazy Rich Asians. Felt like a hallmark movie about Asian acceptance or something. Only that hallmark movies aren't as cringeworthy.
I Feel Pretty was pretty baffling, too.
Oh, and The Cloverfield Paradox.
Not as painful, but really really bad:
Love, Simon (a movie for white cis-heteros to congratulate themselves on how tolerant they are :>...also really badly executed)
Life of the Party (Melissa McCarthy not shutting the f*** up for one second so she can describe what's happening and explain jokes is apprarently comedy now, or "brilliant improv")
To All the Boys I've Loved Before (as little acting chemistry as Love, Simon and Crazy Rich Asians, and equally terrible craftsmanship overall
Ocean's 8 (painfully boring and devoid of anything that would make a movie not bland)
