I've always been a fan of Vanessa's work, so when I saw this movie, I decided to watch it. All I can say is that it's a mediocre movie, the script and editing of the movie is confusing at times and I feel most of this movie relies on Vanessa's acting to carry it. Apart from that, nothing really stood out to me and in conclusion I think it could've gotten carried out better than it was.
It's peculiar. It's aimless. It's awkward. And it's fake. I remember it was in either 3rd or 4th grade my teacher pulled out the projector and showed the class a movie. It was about a boy walking around where he met a dog, and some other kids. There were times he was alone, there was a stream, a rainstorm, and he met a little girl who he held hands with. When the lights came on I looked around the room. Little Jimmy was asleep. The other kids looked just as confused as I was. I remember asking my teacher what it was all about. She responded: "It's meant to make you think." As I sit here now there can be no doubt whoever put this together saw that same film.
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.

I cannot understand some people's idea of film making and their point or storyline. This is slow, confused, boring, and to a greater extent, senseless!
If it wasn't for the lead actress this film would never have seen the light of day.

It's good but could've been better. It has an interesting idea, I mean it's just awesome to see Vanessa Kirby walking around NYC and talking to strangers, but the execution is moderate. The editing is messy and annoying. And the screenplay has holes, it needs some more depth. All in all, it's far from being a masterpiece and might be confusing to some but it's still watchable.
