Imagine if “Gone Girl” had been developed as a toothless network television pilot — if it had been stripped of its subversive approach to gender dynamics, bludgeoned free of its sadistic gallows humor and shot like a very special episode of “NCIS: Suburbia.” Imagine if it hadn’t been directed by a filmmaker who’s drawn to trash the way that most people are to perfume, someone who genuinely believes you can learn as much about marriage and misogyny from the novels sold at an airport bookstore as you can from those taught in a college classroom. Imagine instead that it had been directed by the guy who made “The Help.”
emily blunt metaphorically smacked me across the face with an ARRICAM lite and by the time the credits were rolling i had to be scraped off the movie theater carpet with a large spatula
ms. emily: individually removed each hair on my goddamn head with a pair of tiny tweezers
ms. the rest of this movie: put them all back
me: hoe don't do it
me: *points out every single slight similarity to gone girl (2014) nonstop throughout the entire movie*
me: oh my god
wow emily's life really went off the rails after she didn't get to go on the paris trip
the movie, objectively: not great
emily blunt and allison janney, objectively: could murder me and I'd thank them
Kind of a weird performance from Emily Blunt. For a decent portion of the movie it feels like her character doesn't really have any other traits other than really really liking alcohol. That said Blunt is able to turn such a character into a more investing one than it really should be. Haley Bennet easily has the most interesting character on paper in this film. Unfortunately she isn't in quite enough of it. Rebecca Ferguson is kinda useless
The setup of this movie is indeed intriguing. Seems like a fun mystery thriller. Unfortunately Tate Taylor lost his ever fucking mind with the time jumps and shit. like literally what in the hell. The twist really worked for me. Didn't see…
