An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since it was starring Mackenzie Davis and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. While watching this movie, I noticed that the director, Sophia Takal, did sound familiar and it’s only afterwards that I discovered that she directed afterwards the recent dreadful remake of ’Black Christmas’. Fortunately, this previous directorial effort was at least watchable. In my opinion, this movie turned out to be the worst commercial ever regarding the acting profession, especially for women. Indeed, you had 2 fairly charismatic women, on one hand, one of them was struggling to breakthrough and, at almost 30 years old, she was fearing that she might be actually already too old. On the other hand, the one had more success but she was clearly involved in some projects that really didn’t interest her and, to make things worse, most of them included plenty of nudity, something she was obviously not thrilled about. Seriously, they made this job look so depressing but this must be not far from the truth, I’m afraid. Beside that, there was also such an ominous atmosphere, it made the whole thing actually quite uncomfortable to watch. Obviously, it was done on purpose so I was fine with that but, to be honest, the damned thing became almost cringe-inducing to behold. Another issue, at least, for me, was I had a hard time to care about these 2 young women. Indeed, Beth, arguably the prettier girl, was nice but also actually rather boring and with Anna, who was actually more interesting, her behavior was actually seriously off-putting. At least, there is no doubt that Mackenzie Davis did deliver a strong performance here. The best scene which was so representative of the movie in general was when she was hitting on a guy in a restaurant quite successfully and then managed to completely antagonize him within a few mins only. Anyway, to conclude, even if it wasn’t a real home-run, it was still a decent watch though and I think it is worth a look.
