Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry, is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.
My review · Reviewed 05/02/2025
This had all of the bones of a decent thriller: the lead is engaging and the premise is somewhat Hitchcockian. And it looks great! But the director couldn't quite keep up the momentum and the movie really started to lose me as it went on. The simple premise needed more meat on the bones, a twist, SOMETHING.... and it never came. For a while I thought that the whole scenario was a metaphor for dating - I still think that premise may have made for a better movie. The ending further illustrates how this movie completely wasted its premise.
