Douglas H Like many have stated, there is no "there" there. No inciting incident... no discernible 2nd Act... no inciting incident to drive a 3rd Act. Our planet would be very lonely if this was the best it could muster. Generally, I think the result is often bad when a writer is writing a movie largely centered around the plot of writing. There's a scene (not really a SPOILER...) where a thief steals Laura Dern's computer and novel she's working on. To that thief I'd like to say "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! Otherwise, we could have been looking at a possible sequel... As I've often said in my reviews, who finances this? Who reads this script and decides, "yeah, let's make this." Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Christian K Kind of just writer bullshit with stunted dialogue, paper thin characters, and no romantic chemistry at all. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review June (Kate) T This could have been so much more. Laura Dern is a great actor and Liam Hemsworth so likeable that it could have worked. However the very slight and implausible script turned it into a Moroccan travelogue with a central relationship that jumped all over the place. The final scene was just a risible cop out. I really wanted to like it but it's shallower than a wet flannel. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review kbb p Finance hunk bro with Oedipus complex and glass ego finds his mommy lover in Laura Dern's character. Which could have been compelling if it wasn't for the cheesy dialogue straight out of a bad soap opera. Apparently filmed with an iPhone. With no scene lasting longer than five seconds. Coupled with a soundtrack that absurdly jumps in and out along with the five second cuts. For god's sake, even the music is utter tripe. It's like if TikTok made a full length feature film, but badly. We made fun of it throughout, which was the sole redeeming quality. I feel sorry for anyone who watches it alone and doesn't have even that. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review David W Didn't love it, didn't hate it, already largely forgotten it. The lead actors do their not inconsiderable best with a lifeless script, there's some nice scenery and well that's kind of it really. Almost instantly forgettable and contrived age difference pseudo romantic mush. Dern especially deserves more to get her formidable acting teeth into. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/17/24 Full Review K. L I wanted to like this more and the plot and decent actors should have achieved that. It felt like Eat, Pray, Love but without any of the chemistry between the leads or memorable connection to the Moroccan culture. The ending wasn't believable either - it didn't build or feel plausible. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
