My review · Reviewed 08/16/2025

I happened to catch a blurb about this movie after I finished it that sums it up nicely: it is a tedious affair about a tedious affair. The move looks great and the actors are great. The story? Not so much. At one point I forgot that there was a movie on because I found myself looking around the room.
