Ambivalent feelings
I feel strangely about this film. On the one hand it was very well made. The actors were great, the characters well written and lovable and the script was quite funny. The premise was also a breath of fresh air.
On the other hand I found the movie to be quite sexist to the point that I could no longer say that it's a good film, however well made it is.
For example: The man never helps the woman in her job while it is expected of the woman to help the man. The man is equally obsessed with his job as the woman yet he constantly criticizes her for it. The man literally forces the woman to only say what he wants her to say, repressing her free will.
These moments and subthemes made the film iimpossible for me to like but I have to admit that it's well made.
