Something of a mess and never really takes off. I won't go over the plot but say most of the events take place in a hotel room with stories being told in 'flashback'. There's no chemistry between the leads and no dramatic arc to speak of. Very little humour. The pacing is clunky. The film wants to say a whole lot of profound things about storytelling etc but never hits the mark. As for people wetting themselves over the visuals, have they never seen a film by Terry Gilliam?? I enjoy Tilda Swinton and I realise I'm supposed to gush over anything she does, but seriously, this one is pretty forgettable.

So we're onto Season 5. Just watched the first episode and wondering if I will continue. It's just so depressing. Not that I want/need to watch happy-clappy TV, it's just that when the real world is already depressing do I really want to see it on my screen as well? Plus let's talk about June. She's becoming plain annoying tbh. It isn't helped when the director keeps giving us the Kubrik big close up every few minutes. That camera framing has become tedious. So while I admire the acting and production values and it's continual critique of society, I'm not sure if I will continue. However, I do feel invested so may tough it out.
