It's one of those "Art Films" us New Yorkers catch at posh theatres like the IFC Center. It was the middle of the day and I wanted to see a movie, and this was a movie I had not seen yet, but I tell you, this was not the movie to see in the middle of the day when you have nothing to do.
Ironically, I wanted to waste some time and I did it on a movie that was a waste of time.
If I came out of this feeling like this was the worse movie I ever saw, then that would have been something, and obviously I did not come out of this thinking it was good, but this movie did the worse thing I think a movie could have done: waste my time.
I was bored, so bored. I could not believe this movie was only 80 mins, it felt like an entirely waiting for something to happen. Vanessa Kirby is no Margot Robbie. In all fairness maybe I can watch Kirby do nothing in a film if the film is right. Kirby tries and you can see her charm, but that was not enough. It's possible Robbie would have bored me to death in the same role.
I am more of a low budget B-movie type than an indi art house type so maybe that goes with it. I certainly admit I did not understand the plot well enough to even describe it here. That could just be me, but I've seen enough Art Films to know that's most likely not the case.
Sometimes it just doesn't click, and this is one of those times.
