Didn’t like this film much, the cinematography was beautiful but I found the protagonist to be unlikable and the story to boring and a little confusing. There were too many time skips. I came out of it with a lot of questions. Which is probably because I wasn’t paying enough attention and they probably all have simple answers to them but my friends I watched it with walked away with the exact same ones.
What happened with her dad in the taxi scene ? I don’t get it.
What happened with the mum? I don’t get it.
Where was she at the end?
Who was that girl at her party and who was the guy?
Why’d she randomly break up with her boyfriend like that and why did it cut to her sleeping on the street?
Why did she become a weapons dealer?
Honestly I was just bored and confused the whole time and the more bored I got the less I payed attention which just made me more confused which made me more bored.
Protagonist was just kinda annoying. Thought I would like this film but I just didn’t.
5.6/10
